Hey guys!
Just a random question. I built a new machine last week, and it's smokin'. A 7920X with the ASUS X299-A motherboard. I'm getting 2830 on cinebench, a huge jump from my 700-800 score on my previous hack, the 3930K from 2012 with a gigabyte x79-up4 motherboard.
I had a GTX 980 in the old machine, and that stayed with the old machine as it moved down to recording studio work, which it's doing a great job at, and the 980 is running a HP Z27q 5K display very nicely (hard to get working and I couldn't get the 5K display working properly again under high sierra on the new machine so it can stay with the old machine). I've bought a Radeon vega 56 for the new machine, and for the time being, have a very old GTX 680 in the new machine just to get me going. It's actually doing ok for such an old card - the Bryce 5K test was done in 88 seconds. I'm obviously expecting 10-20 seconds with the Vega which I'm looking forward to.
My question is - should I keep the GTX 680 in the machine as a second card? Or even as the main card driving the monitors? (I have 2 connected, an ASUS 32" 4K and a QNIX 1440p older monitor). I know Davinci resolve will see and use a second card (and actually prefers you to have no monitors connected to the main card doing the processing), but what about FCPX? Will it ignore the Vega 56 if it's not the main/only card in the machine? Any other issues i might face? Obviously one is Nvidia and one is AMD, not sure if that just simply won't work anyway...?
Of course I guess I can test it but I'm just wondering what you guys think?
Thank you!
