Using one gpu for games and one for mining

[mcscotty47]

I have a radeon r9 270x and a gtx 1060 6gb graphics cards. I was wondering if it is possible for me to set up my computer so that I can use the 1060 as a "primary" gpu so my games will run off of that and have the r9 270 mining in the background?

Brother in my opinion mining is not a good option without a professional mining kit.If you will use one of them for mining, it will eat up your computer and your electricity, because mining pushes the computer to the full limit. And if you are mining without kit , for economic reasons it is also very bad. Electricity bills will cost you nearly what you earn.So, it is not profitable also.
Thank You
