Build of Rtx 2080ti and 980ti
Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2018 9:04 am
Hello ! Would it be possible to run two different gen cards on the same motherboard without issues ?
More details: I'm a 3d artist and work on video games as a freelancer. I currently have a 980ti and need an upgrade. One of my biggest issues with the 980ti is it's lack of vram (6 gb). The most vram intensive app I use is Substance Painter which uses a ton of video memory in it's texturing pipeline, leading to long load times, tons of lag and generally bad performance. Apart from Substance Painter performance I am satisfied with the gtx980ti. A Quadro P6000 or P5000 is out of the question sincen it's waaaaaay out of my budget.
My complete question is : could I run my main display (qhd) on the 2080ti (or 1080ti if reviews aren't too good) and the rest of the displays on 980ti, while vram is distributed accordingly between the two ? I want to squeeze as much vram out of the 2080ti since vram is precious to me. Oh, and would the pc run ?
Complete specs ( haven't ordered yet, besides the cpu, so feel free to recomment me something if you feel right): I9 7940x, 64 gb ram gskill cl14, 3200mhz, rm1000x psu, asus prime x299, m2 evo work drive, noctua, bunch of hard drives, etc.
Thank you all !
