Is it possible to put an AMD GPU and an Nvidia GPU in the same PC. Not in SLI or Crossfire but to just have access to either of them without having system trouble.

I tried putting in a R9 280X with one of my 970s in too but the PSU cables disconnected from the 970, in device manager, it just says Basic Windows something

Its possible, I was doing this recently(but had to take my system apart).

 

Yes, linus did it in a video, but why would you ever want to?

Cuda acceleration with AMD cards, "best of both worlds" optimization with games, and having the ability to dedicate a GPU to a virtual machine. The list goes on, but these were on the top of my head.

*Risky click of the day*

That is exactly why, some games work better with certain GPU's and CUDA is also very useful.
