Hey guys, i was wondering.
If you have say Nivida Graphics drivers. And Buy lets say.the new R600's that are coming out.

Is this in any way bad?
Using bassicaly a ATI card in a Nivida driver based system..is this a bad thing to do?
Or nothing really wrong with it?

Thanks
jeff

Why wouldn't you just change the drivers?

No, you just uninstall your nVidia drivers and install the latest ATi ones.

exactly .. just uninstall your previous drivers and install new ones. It's always good to have the latest drivers anyway. I'm a fan of the omega drivers since they give a little more flexablity in what you can do with your card.
