Ryzen 7 Gen 3 3700x with EVGA 2070 and a Sapphire RX 570 16GB Gaming and Mining at same time!

A question that comes up quite often is can I game and mine at the same time with one of my extra GPUs. I have done some testing before, but that was with games I play (eve online, Everquest II and some other MMOs) which never have been that CPU/GPU intensive. On this test I wanted to pair a medium ranged RTX card with a medium ranged mining card to see if a modern RTX enabled title would take a hit when mining on the secondary GPU.

Note while I use a "mining edition" GPU in this example, ANY gpu you can place in your PC will work. Some algorithms require 4GB or higher on VRAM, such as Ethereum and GRIN, however GPUs with 2GB and 3GB variants work on Ravencoin, EGEM and UBIQ as example.
