The answer is "it depends." I've had some (old, now) motherboards with
onboard graphics -- which had to be turned off for the system to "see"
an add-on video card.

But, it's entirely possible to get Linux to address two video cards.
Many, many years ago I had a Matrox G450 dual-head card and an ATI
video card set up so I could use a triple display. It should be easier
to set that up now than it was then.

Best,
