Is it possible and/or worthwhile to try and use a mid-range quadro and a mid range gtx at the same time?

I've heard quadro is good for actual modeling times and GTX will speed up render times. I want both without paying $5000 for the quadro k6000

btw - I do not game ever.

Yes!! That's pretty much what I've been scouring the Internet trying to find.

Linus rocks! His videos are often pretty good, IMO

I am wondering if there was any special software required to get both cards to work at once or just a plug and play?

Also wondering what gpu/cpu heat monitor soft used. I know some mobos come w/ soft. And I am new to raid and have never done it/seen it done so curious if he put in a raid card? It looked like it was just built into the mono?!? That would be sweet. I want raid. Also want a scratch disk. And a ssd boot drive. And pretty much everything in this video. Gotta have it.

The case was also intersting... Wondering if that beats my nzxt case idea in terms of cable mngmt, mounting, and drive arrays. I love the sleek understated design and the top handle is a HUGE bonus!

Loved the video, got lots of confidence in what I'm soon to attempt and some great ideas/insights there as well!

Thanks Anub1s for a perfect reply to question! You are a genius.
