Hi, I’ve got a bit of a complicated situation. A year or two ago I had upgraded from a 3070 to a 6900xt for reasons (it was going to someone else and I used that to upgrade my own). Now I have both gpu’s again, and I want to use the 3070 for additional displays, is this possible? I see that some people have managed this or something similar but whenever I try to install any display drivers for it, it just breaks the drivers for my main display (amd gpu) and the second display (nvidia) stays black too. I was able to uninstall it again afterwards with ctrl+alt+f2 and doing it from there, but is there any way to make this work?
Edit: Ah, It seems I just shouldn’t have installed -470x specifically, installing video-nvidia doesn’t break anything, it just displays nothing off of the second gpu
