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.

You can run F@H on one

There probably won't be much benefit unless you can leverage the second card for acceleration.

I think that you should just swap the two cards for one another, as the 460 should perform much better than the 7870.

No. Assuming you're using Windows, programs will use the video card that is attached to what is marked as the primary monitor. Unless the program can specifically use a second video card, that video card is just going to sit there acting as a display output.
