Using 2 graphic cards

[Crithosting]

Hi, 

I am a blender user and render with cycles, as many probaply know it can take hours. So currently I have upgraded my whole pc and also upgraded from a gtx 1060 to a rtx 2070 super. Now I can still game and do other stuff when rendering but the render takes alot longer obviously... Now I was wondering, could I add my old gtx 1060 to the system and assign blender to use the rtx 2070 and other stuff to the 1060? Is this even possible and if how can I make it work?

 

Thanks for your help!

Looks like the answer's yes. What PSU and other components are you using?

I have a 850W powersupply combined with:

ryzen 9 3900x

32gb 3600 ddr4

and a gen4 ssd

 

I think this should be fine? 

 

Also thanks for that link!

850W should be plenty. Do you know the exact model?

Yeah, that should handle the two GPUs and the 3900X no problem. You're good to go!
