I wonder if its ok to install two different GPUs in one mother board but only one is connected with pcie power connectors.
Will the one that is not connected to pcie cables get damage?

why im asking is it seems easier for me to just hop back to my previous card when i need it with just a swap of the pcie cables/driver installations than having to unscrew the card multiple times.
Thanks.

I forgot but it was two different GPUs and was doing a benchmark on an AMDsecond card on pcie 16 slot 2 while the other card nvidia was left disconnected but still on the first lane.
I wonder if it could damage the first card nvidia this way.
