Graphics card compatibility

[HunterSailor]

Greetings everyone

 

I recently bought a skylake system with 6700 processor, 16gb ddr4 memory on a gigabyte h170 gaming 3 motherboard.

I am planning to buy a gtx 970 for the gpu.

I was wondering whether i can run a gtx 970 with a quadro card on the same motherboard. I do a lot of 3d rendering and modeling ,AutoCAD and Photoshop.

Is it possible to run both the cards on the same motherboard? Do i have to use two monitors or just one will do?

You just have to plug your monitor into the 970 and the display and everything will run off of that. The Quadro will remain idle until given a task to do by the programme of your choice; you just have to select the card you want to render it from

Alright. So is it possible that both cards can work together for the same task in a particular application? For example using Quadros some feature and some other feature of GeForce for that one particular task.

I highly doubt every application will have this functionality.

Sounds like a very niche functionality, but just give it a try and see what happens! I'm sure there are tutorials for it somewhere on YouTube, but if there's isn't just try contacting customer support and I'm sure they'll help you out in any way that they can!

Let's see if i can find out more about it. Thanks.
