Can I put a High IMPACT and Solid IMPACT in the same Indigo2? - synthetix - 05-17-2021
I have both Solid Impact and High Impact boards for my Indigo2 R10K. Is it possible to install both and use two monitors?
If possible, I assume only the monitor connected to the High Impact board will get hardware textures.
Sound nuts?

Yes, it's a supported configuration with the 060-0027-xxx power supply.
The two graphics modules must plug into different logical slots (Slot0 is lowest, Slot1 is highest) on the midplane.

You should be fine to run both of the cards as long as the power supply hasn't been changed out to a 060-8001-XXX or 9430814. You are also correct that only the HI will have hardware texturing.
