[SOLVED] Running AMD and Nvidia GPU at the same time

[lboyer904]

Hi, I just bought a 5700XT Red Devil to replace my 750Ti graphics card. I want to start streaming, and a thought came into my head and I didn't know if it was possible. I want to have the 750Ti to be my encoder for OBS and have it strictly do that, is it possible to do that with an AMD card in the same build, or would i have to have a dedicated streaming system for that?

No you can't. What are the rest of your system specs?

right now, it is an I5-3470, ASUS p8b75-v, 5700xt red devil, 8GB ddr3 gskill ripjaw, nzxt h510.
I'm in the middle of upgrading so upgraded specs will be r5 3600 or r3 3300x, B450 tomahawk max, 16 GB corsair vengeance, 5700xt red devil

I believe the hardware video encoder in a 750 Ti is going to be more limited and probably of lower quality than that in a 5700 XT, so you might as well just use the encoder built into the new card. The performance hit isn't likely to be that much higher than running it on a separate card.
