OK, I have 2 NVIDIA GeForce FX video cards I would like the run on an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard. It has no onboard graphics. One graphic card is an Apollo Graphics AGP 8x FX5200 with 128MB ram. The other is a PNY PCI FX5500 with also 128MB ram. I have the drivers for both video cards (Same forceware driver) Now here is my dillema. Will the cards produce an image on the monitor when I first turn the computer on? Before I can install the drivers, I need to configure BIOS, install an operating system, and set up the OS. So, will the cards run w/o drivers for those 2 (maybe less) hours?
The BIOS and operating system should default to using the AGP card with a generic driver, then you can install drivers and set up the system to use two displays.
