Can a mining GPU be used in conjunction with a gaming GPU

[Anthony Cole]

Hi

As the discription says, I'd like to know.

 

I mean I think I likely would as I do have a main GPU but wondered if anyone one has tried it, and can confirm if it does or does not, and if they had any significant improvement either in games or at least in blender rendering.

 

 

Thanks

Yes and NO here are two LTT videos on the topic.

 

The resson you ask this question, i will highly recommend not to do it.

Yeah I don't know if you could really get multi gpu support to work with that, even if you could I doubt it would be worth it since very few games actually support multiple gpu's

You can have 1 GPU for gaming and rest can be used to mine with absolutely minimum effect on FPS (this depends on what you are mining). You cant both mine and play a game, your experience will not be great and you wont be gaining much interm of coins. You also cant have SLI/Xfire and play a game on that pair.
