Question Switch cable to toggle between two GPUs in one PCIe socket?

[Daniel Smedegaard Buus]

Hello

I have this system based around a GTX 1660 Ti that I use for gaming on Windows 10. I really would love to be able to run Hackintosh on it, and use it for my work stuff since it's my most beefy system, but there aren't any drivers for this GPU, so it's a no-go. I also have an AMD GPU that is supported, but the motherboard only has a single PCIe slot, and manually switiching between GPUs when dual-booting isn't really feasible to me.

I was wondering then, if a product exists, similar to a PCIe riser, except with a Y-splitter, two sockets for GPUs, and then a switch to toggle between the two. Nothing fancy — if the system were to blow up if i accidentally pressed the button while powered on, that would be acceptable. I'm hoping for something where I could be powered off, put the switch in position "A", and then boot into Windows with my Nvidia card active. Then, power down, put the switch in position "B," and then power on, booting into Hackintosh with the AMD card active.

Anyone seen or heard of, maybe even tried, a product that offers such functionality?

Thanks!
Daniel

Take a look into the "bit-mining" world.

Understand that you are not bit-mining per se but there are a number of products available that split a single PCIe slot into two slots thus permitting multiple GPUs.

Not sure about any functional options for choosing/switching one GPU over the other GPU. However, that may indeed be a "feature" on some product.

Likely to be some other details and caveats that come into play with respect to the splitter and/or your requirements.

Google "PCIe slot splitter bit-mining".

See what you find and then revise the search criteria as you deem necessary and applicable.
