If I add a second card to my main PC can it continue to mine while I use the PC? I know I can add two cards to a miner but this is the PC I use for gaming and web surfing as well as mining. Right now I have two .bat files that I use, one for normal mining set to I-20, and another that I use while web surfing with I-17. The lower intensity allows me to use the PC while not totally cutting my mining off. Except for when I'm gaming when I turn off mining completely.
So, if I add something like a 270x or 280x to the system will it work? I realize it can't be crossfire but would it interfere with the PC in general? My goal here is to avoid building a second PC and utilize the open PCIe ports I already have while not spending 600.00 on another 290.
