Hi everyone, I was wondering if I have two Radeon GPUs and I wanted mine cryptocurrency with one and game with the other at the same time could I, and if I can how do I set that up. I'm currently doing a project for my math class in which I test two GPUs where one is rendering graphics (gaming or actual graphical rendering) and one is doing complex math(mining or any other form someone may suggest).

If you have any other questions please ask.

Yes you can do this, although since I haven't done any mining I wouldn't know how to set it up. I guess the software or whatever would just have to have an option of which GPU it uses or both. The reason I would say yes(without doing the actual mining) is... If you two or more GPUs that aren't being used as one SLI/Crossfire device then allocating them to different tasks isn't an issue. For example, Folding@Home(more info HERE). I have two GPUs, I can pick: GPU1/GPU2/Both/None for Folding@Home to use, I can also choose if I want to use my CPU or not.
