2 GPUs 1 PC

[Lewiesly]

Okay…. So I am a video editor & also love to game in my spare time. 
 

With how much I have been working this year and my budget(£1000) A Quadro RTX4000 would be great for Editing. 
 

In my PC Currently is a GTX1070.

 

The Question at hand.

 

Could I have both these cards in my pc at the same time? Almost plug and play.
 

Editing with the Quadro and then using the 1070 for gaming? 
 

I am sure in all Adobe software I can select the GPU that the software should use. I could also force programs in Control Panel to use a specific card? Right?…

 

Thanks in advanced.

Fairly common with people mining. I believe there is a program within the mini hemispheres that allow you to allocate x resource to mining task. 
I believe a lot will depend if the GPU is selectable through the programs you use. Obviously it will need to be mostly compute based as your output will be on the 1070.

As long as your PSU is up to snuff and you have enough PCIe slots, it should just work no problem. Plug it in, make sure the drivers detect everything and you'll be good to go. 

 

Programs are hit or miss whether they'll be able to select the card that you're rendering with, though like you said, you can always force it in settings.

Would an RTX4000 not be faster than the 1070 in gaming too?

About 20-30% performance increase using the RTX. It's almost a perfect match for gaming performance with the 3060. (the wider memory bus makes up for the significantly lower core count)
