Using Nvidia and AMD GPU Together for Video Editing

[King Hackintosh]

Salutations Experts of the Internet,

I am looking for a way to boost performance in DaVinci Resolve. I currently have a GTX 670 which is bottlenecking my system and am looking into replacing it with an RX 480. Here's my question: is there any advantage to keeping my GTX 670 and plugging one of my two monitors into it, while my other monitor is plugged into the RX 480? Would this help with timeline playback and/or rendering?

Thanks for your input!

P.S. My other system components include an i7-3930K, 32GB 1866 MHz RAM, a few Sandisk SSDs, and a Gigabyte X79-UP4 board

Nope, one gpu will be doing all the work and the other just sits there doing nothing but sucking power. It actually says right in there config guide that systems with both amd and nvidia gpus are not supported. http://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/DaVinciResolve/20150911-5823e9/DaVinci_Resolve_12_Configuration_Guide.pdf

I don't think you can have an Nvidia and an AMD GPU in your pc at the same time, it probably works but not very well. Getting another GPU won't help you at all when it comes to editing and rendering because that doesn't use GPU at all, rendering is all CPU.

Please do not try to help if you don't know what you are talking about. It's better to have no answer than a wrong answer as wrong info does nothing but bad. You can use amd, intel and nvidia all at the same time without issue and some rendering and compute software will use them all. Every good video editing software has used the gpu for over a decade accelerating the preview window. Rendering also can use the gpu in many software including this one. It also supports multiple gpus as mentioned in the config guide I linked to.
