gtx 1080 + tesla k10 gpu for premiere pro

Hi all,

I wanted to increase the power of my computer by adding a Tesla K10 GPU to the gtx1080 that I already have.

I wanted to know if this configuration would benefit me in editing and in rendering time?

I do not find clear information about it ... sometimes I read that premiere pro can not use 2 gpu at the same time ... is that true?

Regards, and thank you very much

Don't use both of them. Both are of completely different GPU generations and completely different GPU architectures! Your GTX 1080 is of a much newer GPU architecture than that Tesla K10. What's more, Tesla cards do NOT support GeForces as the primary GPU. Only a Quadro K series GPU is supported by that Tesla K10. If you try to use that Tesla K10 in your system, the card either will not work at all or will cause major stability issues in your system.

Users with both integrated Intel HD, UHD or Iris graphics and an AMD GPU will face EXACTLY the same problem as you will. In this case, when OpenCL or (OSX only) Metal is selected, then only the Intel graphics (or whichever GPU is set to primary) will be used at all for GPU acceleration, ignoring the other GPU completely.

So if you MUST use two CUDA GPUs, both of them MUST be of exactly the same GPU generation AND the same GPU architecture.

    First of all, I know that this post is quite old but nonetheless here is some additional information. I had a nvidia gtx 970 and a nvidia Tesla gpu in the same computer, both worked fine as they were "different generations". Basically the gtx 970 was the video output while the Tesla was the worker and accelerated cuda related tasks. Consumer boards need to have the above 4G decoding option in the bios to be able to use it though.
