Is using a second GPU actually beneficial for web browsing?
I am a software developer and team leader who frequently conducts research, writes code, runs local models and simulations, etc. To handle this workload, I always aimed to move as much processing off my main GPU as possible. That’s why I made my browser and other demanding applications run on my Zen 5 CPU with two CU IGPU slots. I have an RX 6400 that is mostly idle right now. Would it make sense to connect it to the chipset PCIe slot only for this purpose, and could this cause a bottleneck for my NVMe drives?
Would it make sense to plug that in to my chipset pcie slot for this purpose only and would that create a bottleneck for my nvme drives?
Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
I run my workouts on two GPUs (Titan RTX), but in Windows I only use one. When using Linux for AI training, I utilize both. The reason to have a second GPU in Windows is only if you're assigning it to tasks like AI training. For general use and most activities, it offers little benefit and could complicate things or increase the chances of issues with dual GPU setups.
