How to install 2 video cards w/ different drivers?

Post by Humboldt »

Win XP Pro.
Trying to add an 8800 GT to my folding system and keep the original GTX 460.

Problem is that all the Nvidia drivers I find are .exe packages that will write to support both cards, at which point I get a grey screen upon bootup.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Try using 7zip on the extra driver .exe, then adding the driver directly through device manager. Still not sure it will work but worth a try.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Tried that with limited success, but found a driver version that's good for both of them.
