Can you use two different GPU in one computer?

  • I was looking up the benefits of having two #gpu in a #computer but then I wondered, can I have two different GPUs in the same computer? I see what happens when I install my old #asus TUF #geforce 1650 while still using my #XFI #radeon 6600. Not only does it work but I can now use GeForce software on things like OBS while using my Radeon GPU exclusively for games.

    What madness comes next? Two network cards? Two different SSDs? SSD and HD? Gpu and SSD in same computer?

    why should it not work? cant see any reason. windows will use the card in the slot closest to the cpu as main. did this back in the 90s with a tvtuner card, a radeon :)

      @reyalPRON Windows 7 would not let you use two different GPUs. I didn't see any reason why it wouldn't work, so I figured I would give it a try. Some people want to try new things but don't want to risk bricking their rig. I don't mind experimenting because I know how to fix broken computers because I do it all the time.

      @@AMaineiac yes it will. i use an intel iris and a radeon mobile on this very laptop. windows7 bootcamp. you can just run the installer for the card in the mainslot first. then manually install or lowlevel install the secondary. whats crap is that is a pita to setup multi monitor in macos. easy in windows 7 though. bricking rigs? how? its software. not hardware. i dont get this. seems like your level of understanding and use of terminology is not on par. good luck sir. im out.

      @reyalPRON you are aware that some software and hardware can corrupt an OS. Also, some hardware can draw power from a motherboard (like a CPU cooler, GPU with no power pins (like I use) or network cards. These can draw a lot of power at once and can surge a motherboard. Once that mobo surges and fries part of it, the board can be ruined. The fact you questioned, attempted to insult, and are running off proves you have no idea what you are saying or playing dumb.
      You are also speaking about a laptop. If you think a laptop and desktop computer are the same and work the same, you have no idea what you are talking about. There is a huge difference between installing a GPU into a PCIe slot and probably using an external GPU connected through HDMI, USB, or USB-C port.

    Hey dude! You can do this and if both GPU’s are on the lower to medium end you can usually see an uplift in FPS performance but may also see higher frame times and latency because of the additional processing back and forth through the PCIE lanes that is happening. Not knocking it by any means and if it works for you and makes things better I say keep it that way. I tried with my 3080ti as my main and an Intel GPU as my streaming card and my FPS took less of a hit than otherwise would have if I was using NVenc but I did notice my frame times were up and so was my input and I guess overall system latency though it is hard to really measure that stuff without proper tools that I don’t have. It just *felt* slow to respond and I switched it back just to text and keeping it NVenc worked best for me. Cheers!

    Always got tempted to try this but never have the balls to test it on my main PC and OS. In theory drivers only work for their associated devices so its perfectly fine. But feels so wrong. And all the DDU propaganda online makes it sound like your PC will blow up if you try to have both Nvidia and AMD drivers at once.

      @commander-cb does the title of my video start with "hot to"? I made this video testing out if I could do it, not show you how to do it. If you want specific details on how, I suggest you go watch channels that make those kinds of videos.
