1070 and 1050 in one system, how can I get the best performance?

[SyniZure]

I already had an Asus 1070 Turbo I installed and I recently installed a Zotac 1050, sometimes I feel like it gives me more performance and other times I feel like I'm bottlenecking my 1070. Initially my performance was slightly decreased because of the 1050 but I moved my M.2 SSD to the other slot and my performance seems to be better than it was before. My motherboard is the Asus ROG Maximus IX Code, so it has two x16 pcie slots, which I have the gpus installed in. I initially had my SSD installed in the M.2 slot which is hidden under the ROG symbol panel but moved it to the m.2 slot on the bottom of the motherboard which requires a bracket, and that seems to have increased my performance. How can I best configure my hardware and my settings to get the most out of this setup?

You need two of the same GPUs to run SLI. A 1070 and 1050 cannot be ran in SLI. Any performance benefits or hits you feel are likely placebo or caused by something else.

Lol wut?

Yeah, so just like @Cereal5 said, you won't get any performance benefits from having two different GPUs installed in the same system, at least not as far as basic consumer applications are concerned. Drop the 1050 and stick the M2 SSD in any M2 slot and you're good to go

That's a negative, ghostrider.

You could assign the 1050 to PhysX.

The 1050 is not complimenting the 1070 in any way right now. The only thing you could probably use that 1050 for is physx, which might not be useful all the time.
