Driver for two Nvidia graphics card doubt

Hi everybody, I'm trying to setup a multiseat configuration so I need to put 2 videocards on the computer.
Now I've got a Geforce 210 and I would like to buy a GTX 650 Ti. I'm not sure if they will be compatible with the same
version of the proprietary driver. With Nouveau there is only one version for both so I think they will work for sure.
The problem arises with proprietary driver, which I'm using now.
With 210 I'm using nvidia-304xx which uses 304.108 version, but when I go to the nvidia official site
and I look for the driver of both 210 and 650 Ti, it says that they're both supported with 319.49 version. Sadly in
the repo there is nvidia that brings 325.15 version of the driver.
So, will it be safe to buy a GTX 650 Ti and then use proprietary driver? In this case, which version should I use?

GTX 650 Ti is definitely nvidia, not nvidia-304xx.
Try using nvidia with the old one and see if it works.

Yep I knew that GTX 650 will need nvidia, but official nvidia site says that it needs 319.49 version of the driver.
Anyway I tried install nvidia and G210 works, so I think there shouldn't be problem when I'll add the GTX 650.
Thanks for your reply!
