Greetings from Beautiful Boise!
Asus 990FX
AMD FX8150
32GIG RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Main GPU is a GTX-470. I am an Adobe Creative Suite user and like the Mercury feature.
I'm adding a third monitor to be driven by a second GPU. Slots available are a single PCIe x1 and a PCIe x16.
The purpose for the third monitor is to have text and .pdf documents open when I code, not for any timeline sharing or such in Premiere or After Effects.
I'm wondering if mixing brands (e.g. the GTX-470 and a Radeon) produces any undue system resource demands...that is to ask if it would be best to stick with an NVidia card, and preferably a Fermi card (again, due the Adobe-related functionality). Any recommendations on the card? Pricing is not a terrible issue, but I have a 750Watt (Corsair TX750) PSU and would like to keep it...
Thanks much!
Leo
