Urgent, lol.

Nothing would happen. You would have two separate graphics cards in a pc is all

All you would be able to do is power 4 separate monitors.

Because that's the way it's meant to be played.

On a positive note, you'll get the ability to run 4 monitors, like what Dan said. Other than that, it's pretty much useless.
