hey guys, just want your thoughts and answer on an idea i want to try

is it possible for me to insert 2 gpu, 1 nvidia and another amd for windows and linux(bazzite)

the idea is to have windows to use the nvidia gpu and when booting into bazzite, using the amd gpu

edit: windows and bazzite will be installed in different drives

so is it dual boot or gpu passthrough

WeeberWeebManOP•7/11/24, 10:48 AM

dual boot

@Supereg Are you using the Steam client beta?

Fernando Alonso•7/11/24, 10:55 AM

yes

funky•7/11/24, 10:56 AM

Currently protontricks doesn't support this

funky•7/11/24, 10:56 AM

You'll find it works when you go back to the main branch

funky•7/11/24, 10:56 AM

The lead dev mentioned fixing this in the future

Fernando Alonso•7/11/24, 10:57 AM

thx

WWeeberWeebMan dual boot

should be possible tho I don't have an amd card so I don't know that for sure but you either do .conf and set PrimaryGPU to set to yes or blacklist the other gpu

Why not just get a 7900xtx? Unless you've got a REAL high budget.

Valerie•7/11/24, 11:03 AM

Otherwise you're gonna compromise on both GPUs

WeeberWeebManOP•7/11/24, 11:06 AM

i think mainly my worries on amd drivers on windows, would love to try new nvidia features on windows, also just out of curiosity cuz like you pointed out, the money is going to be massive

WWeeberWeebMan by .conf, do i make a new file?

here's a guide for nvidia, for amd then I don't have an amd card yet, could check out google

Adding complexity is a point of more stuff to screw up. Also, count your pci-e lanes. Nvme drives also use them as well. You could wind up at 8x instead of 16x on your GPUs.

Muko Tabi•7/11/24, 11:08 AM

then you also got blacklisting nvidia https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_module#Blacklisting

AMD drivers on Windows are fine. Features I understand though.

Kamquat•7/11/24, 11:09 AM

Or if your motherboard is particularly resource limited, two GPUs might just not work

Muko Tabi•7/11/24, 11:10 AM

nvidia on windows then we have the dlss

Muko Tabi•7/11/24, 11:10 AM

oh wait cuda is also on here

Valerie•7/11/24, 11:10 AM

I mean he said the budget isn't really a problem so shopping for a supported board should be fine.

Kamquat•7/11/24, 11:11 AM

Oh I missed that. My bad

like yh dlss is better than fsr by a mile but for a normal person with normal eyes

they have their own model of upscaling that's better than fsr but lower than dlss

Muko Tabi•7/11/24, 11:14 AM

works on all cards and all games

windows only ofc since I'm talking for the case above

halva•7/11/24, 11:14 AM

yeah you could use a kvm switch to... switch between different outputs
and at least on linux you can relatively easily prevent either gpu from being initialized to stop any conflicts
however, why not just get a single good gpu lol

Muko Tabi•7/11/24, 11:15 AM

amd is fine for about everything unless you're doing cuda like me
