Hey guys, so I will start off by listing my specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700x
GPU: GTX 1080 8GB
RAM: 16 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX
MainBoard: MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon
PSU: 750 Watt
Hard Drive: 560GB SSD, 1TB HDD
So I currently like to play games like Overwatch on Ultra, at 170 - 180 FPS, and when I don't play games I mine Etherium, but when I do this since I only have one GPU and no on board graphics it lags a bit, even if I do turn down the intensity, so I have decided to get a new GPU.
My first question is, would I be able to use a RX 580 in the same system as the GTX 1080 AND mine Etherium on the RX 580 as I play games like Overwatch on Ultra on my GTX 1080? I have heard of people gaming on some low end games, but would I still be able to do it on Ultra?
Another question is, would I be able to use the RX 580 for stuff like streaming the game that I am playing on my GTX 1080?
Basically, in the end I am not looking to SLI my cards, as I do not want to play in 4K. I just want to have a card to mine off of 24/7, and maybe sometimes stream on, is this possible with a RX 580 and a GTX 1080?
