i orderd a GTX 295 today it will be here in 5 days..

i plan on using the 295 as my main monitor and using the hdmi port 4 my tv to watch hd movies..

i would like to use my ati hd3650 card 4 my second monitor enabling me to have 3 displays at a time if needed

my question is can i have a 295 and a hd 3650 working at the same time or will the drivers get confused?

i have a asus p5e3 premium X48 mobo vista 64 bit

A buddy of mine, is running an Nvidia card and ATi on XP (Nvidia card for physx). I seem to remember him telling me it isnt possible to do so in vista because of a conflict with the drivers.

Soif it is possible, your best bet is in XP.

Hope that helps.

In XP and Win7 you could use that combo, just not in Vista.
