Multi GPU with RTX 2060

[Kabi]

Hello everyone , just looking for guidance here. 
 

i have gigabyte RTX 2060 super but unfortunately had some issues and i sent it for warranty claim. It looks like i need to wait another 2 or 3weeks before i get it back. So for mean time i plan to get new GPU maybe 1650 or 1660. Or planning to try AMD GPU line up.

 

 

my question here is, once i get back my rtx 2060 is it possible i can use it together with 1650/1660 or with AMD gpu lineup like 5600 xt or 5700 xt. ( i know 2060 is not SLI supported and cant mix with amd for multi GPU) but I’m just trying to find out if any other way i can make use of it. so the money I’m gonna spent will not be wasted. 

if not then ill just sell the lower end GPU to someone and use only rtx 2060 super.

No, you can't. As in you can't use them in a way that would improve your gaming performance for example. Running both your 2060S and a Radeon card could only cause driver issues.

Don't waste your money, just be patient. Does your CPU not have an iGPU?

No, not possible.

Thank you, nope my cpu dont have any igpu .

using ryzen 9 3950x. 
and my board asus crosshair viii formula doesn’t have video display output port so i rely on only gpu output. 

so without gpu i cant able to use the PC.

Oh, right.

Well I mean if you absolutely have to use your PC in the next little while and don't plan on gaming or doing anything particularly intensive, just grab a low-power display adapter like an HD 6450 or GT 210 or something along those lines. They should be dirt cheap.

If using multiple programs, you can use multiple cards.  AMD and Nvidia drivers interfere though, had trouble even booting when I tried. 

If you are doing blender and playing a game or using UE4 while also using substance painter then multiple gpu could be useful.  No benefit if only using single program.  

Gaming wise, maybe some streaming encoding benefit, option to play two games at once on dual monitors?  I know some people do that in mmo with multiple accounts, very niche.
