Try it.
I've already experienced issues with the nouveau driver with multi
cards. It was a 6200TC and the internal Intel HD graphics.
Sometimes graphics card break (memory or GPU issue), but aren't
completely broken. This was especially the case for the older ones.
Many laptops with 7xxx, 8xxx and 9xxx had graphics issues.
