I think I have seen it done. I think I would try it with the 7970 as the main card . seems I saw someone else do it that way.

I want to say I seen it done the other way, with NVidia as the primary. Its been a long time since I have seen it tho, but want
to say if I recall correctly, and I may be wrong, but it had something to do with the NVidia card only loading as a physics card if it
was secondary. I don't see why you cant mix and match them tho.
Best way to find out tho, would be trial and error.

I don't think that's going to work, what driver would you use, the native windows driver?????
if you get it to work let us know, I'll go get my 770 and throw it in here with my 7970.

I think you will be ok. I've had AMD / Nvidia cards in a system at the same time. Even able to mine on both of them. The driver issue that came up a while back was Nvidia not letting you use an AMD card for PhysX if I remember right. You won't want to use PhysX while folding anyway.

then what drivers do you use?

Just install the regular drivers for each card. You may have to uninstall PhysX, but if you install the AMD card first, it probably won't install PhysX in the first place.
