combining AMD and Nvidia cards in Windows 10

englandr753 · Sep 23, 2015

I've heard this can be done but have found 0 threads on this. Has anyone tried this and what was the outcome?

I'm debating on getting a 980ti to pair up with a 295x2 but would like some feedback on results from others experiences before I buy into it.

Thanks!

Hi
You CAN'T do it!!!!!!!
I recommend you to buy another 295X2 !!

that is a Dx12 feature, and iirc the game has to support it, it will come eventually

clockworkavatar :

IT will be available in future not now. It's a Dx12 feature but now, you can't. The new drivers should be made and etc.
so now. it's impossible and i think you even can't post with a AMD and NVIDIA card!!!

You can certainly post with both card types installed you just can't combine their graphical power in any meaningful way at this time. You can use various cards as video output devices, but the game will only render on a primary display/graphics card.

As of now there are only a few demo applications written for DX12. It will be a while before any of the major engine developers adopt it. And the consoles will hold us to the DX11.2 standard for a while for mainstream games.

you can use an AMD card as your primary and then a smaller/older nvidia card for physX if that'ts your thing, though setting it up and getting it to work are tricky.

Ah, I may have read a direct x12 article that planted this wicked little seed in my head. I'm trying to overcome the mini displayport connection issue that I have with connecting my 295x2 to my 43" Vizio 4k tv. I guess a fix may be much further down the road than I was hoping.

What kind of connection issue? Should be relatively easy to find a Mini-DP to HDMI adapter or Mini-DP to Display Port if the TV offers such a port.

There's only dvi and mini displayport x4. My 4k tv only has hdmi 2.0 @60hz and the best adapter on the market supports only 30hz. I'm using it for now in hopes something better comes along soon.
