Can you use a RADEON GPU and a Nvidia GPU together?

[Staris]

Hello All,

 

I have a question to ask, i am planning to buy a RX580 4GB GPU because i have a €250 budget for a card. I really want shadowplay for montages etc. Around Christmas time i am gonna get around €1000 so i am planning to buy a GTX 1080Ti and i am wondering if i can used my RX580 aswell but a different slot. Can i do it or not?

What would be the point? They aren't compatible with each other unless you're using DX12 games that support Multi-Adapter.

You can, its not hot swappable and you would need to reinstall drivers each time, and the fact that its pretty stupid. Just wait or get an nvidia cheapo card for the time being and fully replace, nvidia shadowplay is waaay nicer than relive imo.

So i should just dump the RX580?

Yes.

get a decent used gpu for €150.. the GTX 780ti comes to mind, if you can get a good deal. those will be as fast as an rx580 for €100 less if you can get one for that price...

Instead of negative responces like I always see on this site and this post I'll answer your question without my opinion which none of theirs is required here thanks fellas for your not needed opinions. 

 

Yes both will work. It will not work like sli or Crossfire will what will happen is, when you get your new card uninstall the rx drivers using your monitor on the igpu slot. Install the card and drivers of the new card. Once it's working you can plug the rx back into the x8 or x4 slot but do not install the amd drivers. It will become the default gpu instead let windows auto detect it and install generic drivers. Now your ti will be driving your best monitor and the rx will turn into a display adapter meaning you can run monitors off it but when playing games obviously plug the monitor into the ti. 

 

Sorry you had to deal with people like this ppl can't ever just answer a question on here but have to say attackful stuff rather answer the question and so many don't even give correct answers on here.

There's hardly ever a reason to run two different video cards like that, considering also driver complications.

 

Quite frankly, if that's your reasoning, having a 580 in your build is pointless for a display adapter. It's a waste of money and you can easily use a lesser card to achieve display adapter functionality, and with less power draw.

No but all he asked was can he use both not all this extra stuff.
