Dual Graphic Card
Hi,
I currently have a HD3870 and everything's working well. I know, it's not new, but it suits my needs.
For the moment, I'm using my PS3 and PS3 Media Server to play HD movies in the living room (via Gigabit Ethernet) but I can't have DTS-MA or TrueHD to the receiver.
I don't want to pay a fortune in a new GPU since I don't need more than my HD3870 because I'm not playing new games anyway.
My idea was to get a low-end HD5xxx (probably HD5450 for around 30$) but my concern was how to manage those cards as I want to leave the HD3870 in because it's stronger, but have the HD5xxx for movies via HDMI (to get HD-Audio bitstream).
I'm using MPC-HC as my media player with CoreAVC and FFDShow (which is compatible with bistreaming over HD5xxx).
How Windows and driver manage both GPU since they are not the same generation (HD3xxx and HD5xxx)? Crossfire?
Is there a way, in MPC-HC, to tell it where to feed audio and video? I can't try it as I don't have a second GPU yet.
I'm not sure if it's clear enough but feel free if you have questions.
Thanks!
