Two cards period penalizes X-Plane…various driver implementations will work, but you’ll be paying some kind of performance penalty, epending on the driver quality.

Two cards, same vendor, with SLI or Crossfire should theoretically not penalize you.

What I’m asking is that it’s unclear if the problem is when mixing cards from ATi and Nvidia, or just having two separate video cards regardless.

Cheers,
