Nvidia Quadro & Geforce in same computer?

Just because both cards are made by nVidia doesn't mean they will co-exist peacefully.

The days of multiple video cards coexisting in a single computer being problematic have definitely came a long way. I built a computer a few years back that had three video cards. A Quadro NVS (supported four displays), and two entry level fanless GeForce cards. He ran 7 displays without a problem (stock trader, his $15k program required four monitors as a minimum requirement). Granted, he wasn't trying to leverage these video cards for the brutal use of CAD design. I do wonder, however, how CAD applications will detect which card it needs. I wonder if it's manual or automatic. *shrugs*

Put a second different card in the computer then report back here with the results. We're all curious. Then we'll have our answer either way. Good luck.

With Windows 7 should be little to no problem. Many, on some of the computer hardware and gaming boards, recommend using the same series, some have reported conflicts with drivers on different series of same manufacturer, many have reported BETTER results with mixed Nvidia/ATI/Matrox, etc. (no driver interference).

Seems in my readings, for Windows 7, "they play well together" is FAR more common than the "they don't get along", but I would test one before odering them all.
