Ah, makes sense! well thank you very much for the help! It seems my post about both working with both drivers was wrong. Thank you very much as well for the help with the VM problem too! To clarify, does linux allow you to segment off installed hardware to allow different drivers to each piece? (Which sounds like it would allow two separate VMs to run and allow me to get both to use both cards fully)

Yes both are supported on both but I cant switch between them. For instance if I uninstall every trace of GR driver, restart, and install Studio driver it will work. and then I can go back again. But it takes a lot of time and have to download the fairly large file every time. I can game on studio driver but certain features like DLSS and ray tracing doesnt work for some games.

Hey all, This is my first post so bear with me if I mess it up. My profile shows all the relevant system information to my pc, and this problem is kinda weird so I'm not actually expecting a solution lol. So I have an RTX 2060 Super that I recently got and my older GPU was a GTX 960 4gb... I have a pretty niche use case where I work with Autodesk Revit a lot and also photoshop and indesign for my architecture work. I am also dedicating some of my system to a virtual machine that my friend uses from an hour away with a virtual desktop. He uses the virtual desktop directly to the VM so I can use the computer on the outside at the same time (He's doing work in python for research and I'm basically letting him use my pc which has more power than a rented server and is for free). I also occasionally game which is where the Nvidia driver comes in. I want to dedicate my GTX 960 to the virtual machine for him to use and then I can do my CAD work with the more powerful RTX 960 Super. Where I'm having trouble is switching between the game ready driver and the studio driver on my GeForce Experience app. It wont switch between GR and Studio drivers when I have these two different graphics cards installed but it switches no problem when I have just one installed. All drivers are up to date and don't seem to have any issues otherwise. I fully expect someone to just come out and say "nope it wont work, go home GLHF" but if y'all can give me a tip, that would be greatly appreciated!
