Mutiple GPUS

Question! So my current rig is Ryzen 1800x 4.0ghz with a gtx1080 and 16gb of 3000-speed ram, My buddy is updating his rendering rig and we were wondering  would it benefit me any to have a Quadro card for 3d and video editing and my gtx1080 for gaming? And would adobe premiere pro, after effects,solidworks and autocad use both cards?

ive done some decent autocad work personally and have used a $400 quadro card and a $250ish GTX/ R9 cards the GTX and R9 blew it out in terms of performance. but realistically the quadro card was way slower but more money.

 

Im sure if you had work that you knew was for quadros double precision making a difference it might be better use or if you have a budget thats Really High because comparing the vaule per dollar the quadro is not a great option. but the REALLY high end ones can be faster talking P6000 at $5,000.00 USD  otherwise id just stick with the 1080.

 

Adobe premier can use 2 GPUs for rendering videos but only one for playback of them. 

I dont believe autocad and solidworks can use more then 1 GPU but unless your blowing insane money on the Quadro the 1080 should be better also.

 

 

Edit: Quadro Cards do get Program specifc Drivers to help them. Ive never seen this matter.  but i could see a weird problem or two this might help with on a very rare occasion. Though thats a completely no info backing it up maybe Guess that im just giving some maybe credit to the drivers lol
