Nvidia and AMD GPU in same system

I'm basing my comment on what others have said about their attempts having problems.  I read that DX12 should allow mixing of different manufacturer cards.  I don't have an AMD and nVidia GPU to test it out.

at some specific point in the past they did not like each other, but before said point this happened:

and after that specific point it seems to be just fine again.

 

i cant give any insight about how well they work together deep under the hood, but every time i check my hood there's a red engine and a green engine running together pretty happily with a blue moped engine in the corner clunking away.

You guys are going waay off-topic here. The OP has a very good card for the task at hand. He only need to configure his setup in the correct way and then he is good to go. No need to invest in a secondary card.

GT 730 only has 96  or 384 (depending on the version) CUDA cores, not at all worth and and won't make a noticeable difference. Just hold out for a higher end GPU with at least 1000 cores (more is better).

from experience with some mystrerious freak of nature GT640 with 4GB vram, that's pretty much the story here.

 

my GT640 is a somehow still pretty amazing card (i mean.. aside from two settings* i maxed out LoL at 60fps 1440p) except for one thing.. that asterisk..

 

* two settings being anti aliasing and shadows, in other words: the compute heavy ones. the low end nvidia cards are so bad at compute you may as well run a potato with sour cream.

Would mixing GPUs work in Windows 7?

i wouldnt see why not, but i do not have a windows 7 machine that has the pcie slots required to test this so i couldnt say for sure.
