Hi, I know a lot of gamers are against mixing cards and I understand the reason is for running SLI. but the software I'm about to purchase(octane render) runs off CUDA cores. Im planning on buying a used 780 ti to go along with my GTX 970, and yes, Octane can and will take advantage of both cards.
Really what I don't want is to have the used 780 ti running, unless I'm working in Octane, I rather have the 970 doing all the work for basic tasks or gaming.
My question is if I mix these cards and start up a game which card will be used for gaming? Will it just select the one that's in the first port? or will I run into problems for having 2 different cards? will both cards be used, say for instance if im working in Photoshop or After Effects?
My last question...My PSU is a corsair 750 is it enough to power both cards along with 16gb of Ram and an I7 2600k.
Sorry if this is a stupid question and thanks in advance, it just seems that a lot of people online have different answers for different applications.
