I've two different Nvidia Geforce cards (one several years old and one new). xrandr sees all monitor outputs, so configuring card for two monitors is just a single xrandr command. I never had the two Nvidia cards connected simultaneously, though. Just a single card with two monitors.
I am running two identical older nvidia GT-520 cards at once, to drive four monitors, using the nvidia driver and nvidia-settings to set the placement of the displays and create the xorg.conf file. You might have to disable the onboard video chipset though. No need to waste cycles dealing with something you won't use. It's sweeeet. :) Ric
