can you mix video cards??

I know this might sound dumb but i bought a XFX GeForce 8600 GT XXX and i wanted to know you could use it with a diffent NVDIA

card. Thx for the help

If you mean using one XFX 8600 and the maybe a Asus 8600...then yea, I THINK you can mix two different brands. If one has higher clock speeds than the other,the faster one will just be downgraded to the same speed as the slower one. If you mean mixing like a 8600 with a 7800 or something...then I highly doubt it.

Previous to the 88xx series they had to be the same card, now they dont, as said above its not recommended to mix GPU's of different memory size.
