Vega and 1080 in the same rig?

Just out of pure curiosity, has anyone tried running Vega AND GTX 1080 in the same rig and alternated between the two GPUs, or is that just a bad idea in general?

I was wondering if it is possible to run FreeSync off Vega and G-Sync off 1080 on the same computer.
 
Seems like a very expensive idea. I would think that you could go into device manager, and disable the card that you don't wanna use though, I haven't ever tried though.

Thought exercise.

I am going to build my brother a computer soon, and I am looking at giving him one of my monitors of his choice so I have an excuse to replace one of them for a C32HG70, and I was thinking the scenario where he picked my 4k monitor, then I'd have a FreeSync and a G-Sync monitor side by side, and just thought if there was a possibility of keeping the 1080 in the system (PG278Q hooked up to it) and installing a Vega 64 (with HG70 hooked).

In all likelihood I won't buy the Vega 64, and I'd probably just use the HG70 as a normal monitor.
 
Compare a 1080ti vs Vega since they are the same price... 1080ti beats Vega in everything.
 
If they're going to be on different cards you can't game on both at the same time. In that case can you just connect them both to one card of whatever card is fastest this generation and just use variable refresh compatible one for all gaming with the second just working like a normal cheap monitor for other stuff?

Yes. This is possible. You will need to do a bit of per game tweaking so it uses the right graphics card.

Might be easier to disconnect gsync monitor when you game on the freesync
 
I saw no issue with 1070 and 290 on two monitors, one per each in Win 10. Just selecting which monitor was primary became the gaming card/gaming monitor. The desktop going from one monitor to the next worked perfectly. I don't recall how a video would play if split between the monitors but they did play on either monitor without issue.
 
Works fine

I have eight 1080ti and two Vega 56 in a rig for mining.
 
Well in DX12 with mGPU you can run both cards together for more performance. Eventually maybe haha

Because that machine currently makes ~ $24-26 per day.

And a few months back that number would have been 3x higher --- I'm currently hoping mining profitability returns to April, May, June profitability levels. :)

All 10 GPUs in one machine? You must have 3+ monster PSUs powering that rig and on a 20 amp circuit. Are you basing off nicehash figures?

why? they are most likely all underclocked / volted and use half of their rated max usage :p only about 1500w?

Close. A bit more


The 1080ti are undervolted and overclocked. They use about 165 watt each but still mine faster than stock clock.

592 MHz memory overclock and core is running about 1600-1700mhz in the 1080tis.

The Vega are in low power bios mode and dropped an additional 10% or so on the power target. Memory is at 875mhz and fan RPM raised to 1700 min. No other changes. So far 1080tis bring in better returns than Vega 56, but I can probably optimize the Vega further.

Two 15 amp circuits. One per PSU.

I mine whatever nicehash wants. I get paid in BTC, regardless of what I mine. It's the easy button, which at this junction in life, I appreciate.

What do you get per 1080ti?
