Worth adding another GPU to a system?

[HunterSailor]

I'm using a Sapphire ATI 7870 2GB and i have a RX 460 4GB lying around. If i use them both on my Gigabyte H170 Gaming-3 board with i7-6700 & 16GB Ram will that be of any use. I think crossfire is not compatible between these two cards but is there any other advantage of using them both?

I mostly use my PC to run Photoshop, AutoCad, SketchUp and Vray.

Just one primary display, so i guess that means 2nd folding GPU, right?

I'm not sure what does that mean.
