The 2.3 drivers are from last month and won't help unfortunately!

Is there an update on this issue, i.e. running ATI and nVidia concurrently?

[vlado]

We are working on this; hopefully it will go into the next update.

Best regards,

I haven't seen any info mentioning this, but I can't seem to use both my 5870 and GTX460 in Vray RT so I assume it hasn't been implemented yet?

[vlado]

Nope, it turned out to be somewhat more troublesome :-/

Best regards,
Vlado

[Nicinus]

Are you still hopeful or should I abandon ship and replace my 5870 with an Nvidia card? I've been considering a Quadro for the viewport performance but it sucks that I can't run my GTX460 at the same time so I've kept my ATI...

[Nicinus]

Not to nag but when you say troublesome, is that like in it not likely to happen or you're working on it but I shouldn't hold my breath?
