I'm thinking of saving up for a computer to be used for
primarily gaming purposes. But I also need a card that works well
with Maya and other 3D applications for school. A friend told me
that I could have a gaming graphics card and a workstation graphics
card in the same computer. All I had to do was click a button to
switch between the two when I had to.
Is this possible? Thanks!
Nope, not possible. As someone on VR-Zone said, you don't mix
play and work.
Also, a card that works well with Maya and 3D apps like AutoCAD?
Those graphics cards cost a BOMB. When I say bomb, they will easily
take a huge chunk of your budget.
You cannot mix between, say, a NVidia GeForce gaming card and
Quadro FX Workstation card. There will be instability due to the
different drivers used.
