Can 2 different video cards be combined?

Featured Replies

Hello,

I have built a new system to upgrade to P3D v5. 

I have an I9-10850 CPU, 32 GB of DDR4-4000 memory a combination of  Nvme and SSD drives.  The idea was to paired it with a RTX 3090 card once it was available during September. As it stands it look like it is going to be quite a while until I can get one of them.

Currently I have three 2k monitors  connected to a GTX 1080 Ti 11GB,with surround enabled within Nvidia. (7680 x 1440)

I have another video card available it is a Radeon RX 580 with 8GB, is there any way that I can use that card to improve the graphics performance?

Before I had my GTX 1080 ti paired with a 4790K cpu, and they were quite balanced in load.

Now with the i9-10850 the one struggling is the 1080 Ti card.

I guess that I cannot use surround for the monitors if they are connected two two different cards the Nvidea and the Radeon

Is there any way I can improve performance using those 2 cards until the 3090 is available?

Thanks

Juan

You certainly can't combine the two cards for a single virtual monitor, so surround is out of the question. You might use one card for 2 monitors, and the other for the third monitor though.
