Hi All,
Have a machine for which is multi-purpose. I have two graphics cards, one for each purpose.
At the moment, the machine has an old AMD Radeon 5870HD 2GB connected with the eyefinity 6 setup on 5 monitors for my daytime trading setup.
I also have a second card (AMD Radeon RX580) connected into the PCIE slot but no power connectors setup.
There is the possibility I would switch the RX580 out with a GTX2080ti or RX 5600XT at some point in the coming months but this is not totally necessary - I am only playing Warhammer Total War, afterall.
Two-fold question here:
The box running on a very old GA-X79-UP4 motherboard, i7 4820K GPU, 40GB Ram, Windows 7 Ultimate.
I know the machine is old, it is purpose built with several features "modern" hardware cannot provide for me.
Can anyone help me game after the market close each day?

Two-fold question here:
- Can I run both of these cards powered at the same time, enabling/disabling each card under the device manager as I need it and just switching the HDMI adapters over?
- What PSU would one recommend?
