Nvidia 1070 and AMD 580/590 in one system

Hi chaps

I've been writing some software for Windows thats currently using an GTX 1070 for acceleration, and now I need to get it working on an AMD 580/590 and/or Vega.

I have a free x16 slot (mechanical and electrical) - and also have enough cooling and power (I think? Corsair 1000x).

In a Windows environment can both the AMD and Nvidia cards/drivers live together? This is not for gaming, purely OpenCL and CUDA - I have had mixed vendor GPU setups working under Linux, and I know I could use VM pass through, but for this particular scenario I need both cards working in a single Windows install ideally.

Anyone here tried that before?

Many thanks!
 
Although I don't know particulars of the exact use case you describe, I mined for a while with ab RX 470 and a GTX 1060 I had no issues.
 
They both ran in Windows(can't remember whether it was W7 or 8) more or less fine on gaming when I ran both, the only thing that didn't work back then was hardware PhysX was disabled even outputting solely through the Nvidia gpu, idk if this makes a difference in your scenario as it's not gaming.

Both were connected to the same monitor and the monitor selected the output I wanted to game through-DVI for the Nv/AMD Hdmi, I think on W10 you can designate which gpu you want to output.
 
Thanks for the quick reply! Was this on Windows?

Thanks!

Yep, this was using Windows 10. Now I think about it, I did have issues with the AMD driver sort falling over intermittently but I'm sure that was more down to my insistence on undervolting/powering it :p
