Can I use eGPU if my laptop has a Quadro?

[PKLee]

Hi, I have a Dell Precision workstation which has a Quadro P600. It's not quite powerful for gaming so I'm thinking about buying an eGPU and using a desktop GTX 1070 or something like that.

 

My question is, can I install both Quadro driver and Geforce drive on my laptop at the same time?

It should not matter, the driver will just find the suitable cards for each other. Besides the P600 and the 1070 are not even the same GPU core underneath, so there should not be any conflict.

I've seen people claiming Geforce cards not being able to run when Quadro driver is installed, that's my concern

Ok. Sorry I didn't know that. I've seen systems with both quadro and geforce working, as long as they are in the same generation, which the p600 and 1070 should be.
