Question

How effective is using 2 graphics cards?

I've had a fairly old NV Quadro4000, and need more power as Premiere is performing very poor with Neat Video. I've not got much funds, so ordered a used NVidia QuardroK4000 with a little more power, but hoping that the doubling of the devices is going to be of some effect.

Any advice for how to make double cards work effectively? I'm imagining dedicating one of them to Premiere and the other to Neat Video...?

No, it won't work well at all. 

Sell them and get single GTX 1060

I found one on eBay for $73 from China (long wait for UK delivery). Would it not be effective to leave Windows in the hands of my old Quadro and designate Premiere only to the GTX 1060?
Sorry to keep questioning you, but I have no experience with this kind of hardware and I'm going by guesswork & theory here.

I tried Red Giant Denoiser III and it gave me the same grief. Just have to wait for my new graphics card, and hopefully it will all work better under Windows 10. (I've got Win7 & 10 on a dived drive but under Win10, PP says no to my current graphics card.)


Oh you're doing this on Windows 7? Yeah that might be why the GPUs are getting grabbed. I'll be interested to hear if that's the solution.
