Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Two graphics cards?

Alright I have the ability to hook up two graphics cards to my computer, they are two completely different graphics cards, one is a Radeon x300 (I believe) and the other one is a Quadro FX 3450... is there anyway to run these two and my two monitors?

Not too sure mate, I use 2 of the same cards in my PC and tbh I dont really see any difference with one in there (never play games) there set up in crossfire mode running dual monitors (though I've now got a different monitor all together so its only one now.

I know a guy who mixed his cards and it worked, I didnt think it would but it did, think it was an gforce and an ATI, not too sure what, if any problems there would be but I would try to match therm really.

the reason I ask is because I like to have the quadro card for Maya but I would like to have the other card run my video games since the quadro isn't a gaming card and I can notice it quite a bit with COD5

thanks for the reply

if anyone else has any idea about this let me know I appreciate it.

On a side note, my worst worry would be getting them to run properly without any driver issues ... since they are both different companies/branches.
