Hello guys, I am an Engineering student. I am currently thinking whether i can use my RTX 2060 with RX 580 (currently not have) to work in one system.

The system is used for 3D CAD (Solid Works) and for playing games, Machine Learning and other stuffs.

 

So i am thinking whether it is possible to use the RX 580 for the solidworks and RTX 2060 for other stuffs beside solidworks?


If it is possible, do you think it is needed? any other recommendation for my usage?

Thank you for your reply!

Looking forward for your reply!

You can have two different GPU's in one system but you can't link them together.

Is there a reason to not just run everything on the 2060? I don't think you can have the drivers for both cards installed at the same time so that setup will get complicated pretty fast.

No, unless for whatever reason the applications you use run horribly on NVIDIA's hardware but great on AMD's, which I highly doubt this is going to be the case.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

Yeah you can use 2 gpu independently.

Use amd for one thing and the rtx for gaming at the same time.

I suggest running it on more than 4 cores cpu.

Ryzen 5700g @ 4.4ghz all cores | Asrock B550M Steel Legend | 3060 | 2x 16gb Micron E 2666 @ 4200mhz cl16 | 500gb WD SN750 | 12 TB HDD | Deepcool Gammax 400 w/ 2 delta 4000rpm push pull | Antec Neo Eco Zen 500w

It still run the CAD pretty good on the RTX, maybe i should wait until the RTX cannot satisfy the needs of my CAD then i am going to move to Radeon or Quadro. Thank you guys

You can.

Used to do so back about 8 years ago, I had an old Nivida integrated graphics chip on an ASUS AM2 board, paired with an AMD 5450 for a second display.
