Is it possible to install 2 video cards and use one or the other when the situation calls for it?

One card doesnt support DirectX 9, but can handle 4 screens. The other supports DX9, but only supports 2 screens. Some game require DX9, but I use this computer mostly for work and use the 4 screens. Is it possible to switch back and forth between the cards without opening up the machine and actually swapping them out?

IF they use the same port. i.e AGP, Then it is impossible.


If they use 2 different port types. i.e AGP and PCI, Then this could be somehow possible, but you have to restart your computer each time you wanna switch cards and enter your BIOS software then choose which graphics card to boor, PCI or AGP.





I did not try this myself, But I think that is gonna work.





Good Luck
