Combining two graphics cards.

[jellevankraaij]

I want to build a pc that can game good and can do autodesk inventor great.
I think about buying a wx3100 and a rx 560 and combine those two. Is this posible?
sorry for the bad english.

While the two GPUs are similar, you can't CrossFire them. They are incompatible for that use.

PC gaming and any cad are two things that dont mix well. There is no way to tell your computer to use one card for certain things and then switch to the other.

Your best bet would be a titan card, otherwise you would have to put in the Rx 560 for gaming then when you do cad work uninstall the drivers and install the WX3100 and install that driver. you would have to switch back and forth every time you switch what you are doing.

A Titan is quite a step up in terms of cost and capability than the originally proposed WX 3100/ RX 560 (even combined) combo. A single WX 5100 (or WX 7100) would outperform the OP's proposed solution (if they could work together) by quite a bit.

Don't be fooled by the "Pro" moniker, these GPUs will perform well with games, on par with their non-Pro counterparts.

like COLGeek said, the radeon pro series are also able to game way better than the RX 560. The WX 5100 would be a good option for you.

So if I purchase the wx5100 I can game very well. With what gpu can I compare the performance off the wx5100?

WX 3100 is roughly equal to RX 460/560
WX 5100 is roughly equal to RX 470/570
WX 7100 is roughly equal to RX 480/580

I think I got that right (recollecting from memory).
