Gtx and quadro

[Xander Wusky]

So, I play quite a bit of games and currently have:

I5-7600k

16 GB ram

Gtx 1070

 

I however also use a fair amount of solidworks for my education. While my current pc is fairly decent at that, a quadro absolutely blows the gtx cards out of the water. So I was wondering if it is possible to install both a quadro and a gtx 1070 in the same system so I dont have to purchase and entire extra pc (as that is financially not an option for me). I've seen some posts about it but it was not entirely clear to me if this was possible or not.

 

I would need the full performance of the quadro during solidworks and the full performance of the gtx 1070 during gaming. If possible at the same time on 2 different monitors but if not restarting inbetween would also be fine. I'm not entirely sure how the drivers would work and if this would be required.

You are likely to have severe driver interference and stuttering/slowdowns when trying to run the cards separately. Just get a Quadro. The Quadro performs the same as a GeForce equivalent in games.
