Can i use two different gpus on my rig ?

[Gustavo Dutra]

I've heard people with like a rtx 2060 super and a gtx 970 plugged on their motherboard and saying it works. Well does it ?

Why do you need 2 GPUs simultaneously?

a psu with enough power (wattage) depending on what gpus your using reccomend 750+

that depends on what you want to do with it.

you can not use both cards to run a game, it will just run on 1 of the two. you can however us both of them for compute or F@H applications.

Mining and work/games.

Thinking in using one for mining 24/7 and one for games.

I would imagine you're using the 2060 super for gaming, unless your needs are not that demanding. The 970 wouldn't really have enough efficiency for good ROI on mining, unless electricity is free for you

Yes, yes you can plug in multiple GPU into a system, as long as there's a driver that supports all of it (ie, 9000 series GPU won't work with 3000 series)

Spoiler

But the 970 isn't profitable for mining so I figured you're gonna use that to drive your display and mine on the other card yes? Do remember that 970 even at idle draws around 30-50W, so you may wanna think it through

Currently i've a 2070. Not great profits from mining. Looking for a 3080 and for more years a 3090 if BTC still looks good enough on its currency....

One of my co-workers mines mines nicehash and buys bitcoin with it, apparently that's a better investment strategy 

 

But yeah I don't really recommend your current setup for 24/7 mining to be honest
