if I go for the GTX 285 2Gb and GT 120 for resolve, how will it affect other graphic apps?

Hi all

I am slowly building a resolve, transitioning from color (for now obvious reasons...). I have a Mac Pro 8-core, 12GB of RAM with a decklink Studio. The first thing I think I should do hardware-wise is change my 5870 and MacVidCard is offering me a good deal to trade in my 5870 for a GTX285 2GB and then add a GT120 for GUI. Now this seems like the best option while staying reasonable price-wise. My concern though has to do with how this setup will perform in the other apps I use regularly, namely After effects and Premiere CS 5.5, and Media Composer 6. I'm particularly worried about After Effects which I use as often if not sometimes more often then my colouring software (previously Color, now Resolve). how does AFX handle multiple graphic cards? will it just use the gt120?

anyone can shed light on this for me?

thanks!
