Mac Pro 7300 + 6800GT Video card

[aiongiant]

Hi
i tried to do a search but didnt' have any luck

has anyone here tried to use the stock 7300 vid card that came with the mac pro and run it with a nvidia 6800gt?

i can't seem to be able to run both vid cards at the same time
i have the 7300 on the top slot and the 6800gt on the bottom
i have pcie power going to 6800gt and i know it works casue if i take out the 7300.. the video works

so wondering if theres a setting i'm missing? or maybe can't be done?
has to be 7300's only?

also reason for this is planniong to buy a 3rd monitor
and i have a dell collecting dust and it has the 6800gt inside thought i would use that to power the 3rd monitor

also anyone know if Windows supports dual video cards?

thanks!
Lester

hhhmm its not really recommened but it should be ok. im not sure if osx will recognise the graphics cards....there was a thread somewhere but i cant remeber where..
