2 Different GPUs for Gaming/Mining

[hughey7897]

I was wondering if it would be possible to set up 2 different gpus in 1 system with one gpu dedicated to mining crypto (sapphire vega 64 reference,) and the other dedicated to gaming ( sapphire nitro+ 5700xt.) I would not be doing both at the same time, as my power supply would not be able to provide enough power to do so.

i am doing that, but nvidia GPU

just turn individual GPU on and off in your miner

You could, but the 5700 XT is a better mining card anyway so why would you?

mining on a single card isn't worth it.

Im a bit inexperinced with mining, but would the vega 64s higher memory bandwidth with slightly lower gpu and memory clock speeds not allow for a higher hash rate?

it is when its secondary to your normal everyday. even a little bit is a good thing

You can't tell what has a higher hash rate just by looking at specs, at least not when comparing different GPU generations. Check a hash rate table and you'll find that the 5700 XT is about 1.5 times better than a Vega 64.

Why not use them all? Seems easier that way and actually worth the time.
