AMD and Radeon Compatability Problems

[xdnewlun1]

About 4 months ago I bough a GTX 1050ti, yesterday my friend gifted me his RX 590 in favor of a new card he had bought. I being the ignorant man I am, plugged the RX 590 into the Top x16 PCIe Slot, and the 1050ti into the Bottom x16 PCIe slot. I then installed the Radeon Drivers for the 590 and left the Nvidia ones installed. Today I tried to use my Oculus Rift VR. It works only when plugged into the 1050ti, but I need working on the 590 because the 590 is a better card, and will run my games better. It will load on the 590 and then freeze immediately after loading the oculus software, and SteamVR does detect the headset. If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated. Please help.

I don’t see point in leaving 1050ti in your system, this cards not gonna work together and it’ll cause more problems for you. Just get rid off it if you don’t have specific use for it

The only reason I kept it in, is because im trying to use it to 1 of my monitors, so the 590 runs my main, and vr and the 1050ti, runs my second one.

Be sure to DDU the drivers for the Nvidia card as well if you remove the 1050ti.   You might also need to DDU the 590 driver set afterwards and do a clean install.

Are you running into any power problems?

I have not had any power problems that I am aware of, as of yet.

I am definitely not the most knowledgeable here but can you tell us the CPU, Motherboard and PSU you are also using.  Others on LTT will know if those 2 cards can draw too much power to co-exist or not.

I don't really see the point, just run the secondary off the rx590 and be done with it, the performance difference is so small most benchmarks don't pick up the difference. also depending on your mobo, this might end up with both cards running in 8x mode instead of one at 16x

 

This isn't the late 90's anymore you don't need multiple graphics cards to run multiple monitors.

Which wont run both at full bandwidth, uninstall the 1050ti, scrub the drivers and just use the 590, in your case you'll most likely see a stability increase for vr and overall a better experiences, then go sell your 1050ti and get ya mum something nice

Like @it_dont_work said your 590 is powerful enough to run 2 even 3 monitors, you really don’t need this 1050ti, and like I said before it’ll cause more problems than it is worth it.
