Using 2 different gpus

[xxerbexx]

I have a 180ti in my PC and I try to make use of my old 1060. What I'm basically planing is connecting a ultra wide 4k 144hz an 2 more monitores. I would like to somehow use my 1060 to save some fps. Physx doesn't seem like a option. Thought about using one to monitors an one to game then realized it makes no sense. Any ideas guys?

connect all the monitors that are not for gaming to the 1060 and you will save a couple of fps

afaik, and by personal experience, there's little to no difference in performance when running extra monitors while using 1 to game.

I ran a triple monitor setup, gaming on the central one, and noticed no performance issues with a 980ti or 1080

well the extra screens do use a bit of vram...

he has a 1080ti, so it's a nonissue

true, but, "the screens make no difference" is not true. in his case maybe, but other people read this too.. who might not have 10+ gigs of vram.

Yea thx thought about this as well. But just from the logic ( maybe you guys know this) if I run obs recording over the nvidia GPU chip on my 1080ti, I only would be able to record stuff shown on monitors connected to the 1080ti. Right? What if I use my CPU as encoder would I be able to show everything on all screens? I would just try it but I need some knowledge before buying overpriced g sync monitores. Xp

Sell the 1060, using it for anything else isn’t worth it.
