2nd GPU for productivitym

[domini123]

I currently have an AMD GPU which is amazing for gaming and for stuff that supports Vulkan. but now i have an issue where an AI program doesn't support it. i have an 1060 laying around and i was wondering if i can plug it in alongside my AMD GPU and it will be used for application that can take advantage of it?

What does your ai program expect?

 

The rtx cards have physical hardware to accelerate it. The gtx 1060 can rely on cuda libraries for it.

 

You can plug it in ans install the driver but you'll have to manually set it for what applications you wabt to use it

Yes, you'll just have to target that instead of your AMD GPU when doing said AI stuff

it wants CUDA OR CUDDN. So any Nvidia gpu is fine for the program

Sure drop it in, make sure you can power it safely and let it rip

as long as the software can direcctly interface with a GPU that is not the main GPU of the system, it'll just work if you plonk it in a slot and load up the drivers in windows.

No

Just plug to the mb and plug the power cables from the psu

After its plugged you can just select it in the program
