I'm sure someone has asked this over the intervening years but could not find anything on this. I have an AMD Sapphire R9 280X and an Nvidia GTX 960. FCPX was not happy with the 960 so I bought a used 280X and mysetup is super stable. But, there is software that runs much faster on the Nvidia card like the Adobe suite and Blender. 1) Can both cards be run at the same time? 2) If yes, then can each respective software recognize the best card for it's calculating purposes? Blender lets you specifically target a GPU for working in. Nice feature.
On a side note, the GTX 960 is a terrible OpenCL card, whereas I have an old GTX 670 which is plug-and-play and OpenCL compatible. Lots of options. Thanks for your help. Perhaps the only solution is to swap cards depending on what environment I'm working on mostly that day.
