Posted February 7, 2016 I was wondering if you could run a AMD card as a primary card but then use a Nvidia card to help speed up video rendering?. I got A HD6950 and i can get a used 660Ti, or should I just use the 660Ti as my GFX card instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 7, 2016 Are you talking about crossfire/sli? Or actually switching out the card every time you want to video render? Remember to drink water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 7, 2016 Yes, it should work fine. I believe Linus did it in a Video before.

Posted February 7, 2016 Have fun with Nvidia drivers bitching that AMD drivers are there. Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here! Local asshole and 6th generation console enthusiast.

Posted February 7, 2016 Setups like this usually work if you know how. I would actually use unRAID and have one be the system and the other a rendering "server", but only if my specs could support it well.
