I want to use one PC for both Oculus Rift gaming in a Gamecube/N64 emulator, and also MAME games in 15kHz 240p on a nice CRT. For the Oculus Rift, I'd need something like a GTX 970, but for true 15 kHz output, I'd need a card meeting requirements here: http://wavebeam.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-groovycube-diy-console-that-plays.html . Is it possible to use 2 completely unrelated graphics cards at the same time (one for fullscreen MAME, the other for everything else)?
>>
Yes of course it's possible.
>>
>>56946791
to clarify, the old card requires special drivers to be installed to work with 15 kHz. When installing drivers for graphics cards, is there any reason the custom drivers wouldn't play nice with the GPX970 drivers?
>>
>>56946807
how do you tell programs which card to use? Is that something you'd do in system settings, or each program's settings?
>>
Not that guy, but is it possible to use cards from both Nvidia and AMD at the same time?

I'm asking because I tried it with my old PC, and it didn't work. But is it possible?
>>
>>56947064
Having an AMD card installed will disable physx on the nvidia card because skypes
>>
>>56947320
Yeah, but when I had both of them installed at the same time, neither of them produced an image.
>>
You can but you would need to be running the box as a hypervisor with gpu pass through. You then set up one VM for each gpu
>>
>>56947385
so I would run everything normally (as if the old card wasn't there), but run MAME in a VM (that's been told to use just the old graphics card)?
>>
I believe the easiest way to do it is to have two monitors, you'd decide early on which monitor will do what and plug one monitor into each card. When you're doing your oculus gaming, go into the windows desktop options and make the Nvidia card your main monitor. When you're doing your MAME shit, go into the options and make that monitor the main monitor. AFAIK, Windows will prioritize the card used by the main monitor. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, of course. I THINK there also exist programs which can tell other programs which GPU to use, but I don't know of any.
>>
>>56947483
woah, nice. I was already planning on using two monitors, and the MAME shit was gonna be used on one monitor only. If you're right, my life will be ultra-convenient.

Is this article outdated? If it's not, does it mean I should be able to skip all the default-monitor stuff by just telling MAME with the program in pic related to use its own special card?
