What do you intend to do with other cards in your system? It should work fine, but all the cards would be functioning independently.

Yo! I have a 3070, and am wondering if I can use older 1070/1060 or 1660/2060 cards in my system as well. Not wanting to spend a whole lot an a new gpu becaues of the high prices, so looking at some 10 series cards, maybe turing. Can I run them in my system no prob along with my 3070? Thanks
