Multiple GPUs non SLI?

[Proprietary]

If I have a 1070 and a 2060, would I be able to utilize both GPUs in a single system? I will only use one for display output, but can I use the other GPU for computations?

You can, but the software is complex to set up, Windows is picky about that kind of set up, and ultimately not really worth the hassle...

For games, no, at least not effectively.

For other stuff sure.  BOINC, Folding@home, Rendering - Lots of other work flows can use multiple non-SLI GPUs.

Tensorflow GPU version supports multiple GPU computing, right?

I am not talking about game rendering but GPU computations in general.

Ah my bad, this is not really my area of expertise

What program do you want to use?

Yes, for anything that is not gaming then SLI is not required and can't even be used anyway. SLI is only for gaming, it has nothing to do with compute at all.

For Tensorflow you could use a mining rig like setup with PCIe x1 and it would work, although I think more bandwidth would probably be preferable.
