Title: Separate OS with separate drivers, one for mining and one for gaming?
Post by: brett87 on May 09, 2021, 05:39:30 PM
Hello,

I new to mining. I have an RTX 3060 I want to mine when I'm not using the PC and shut off mining when gaming. Therefore, I need to download the v.470.05 drivers, and I'm worried about possible trojan or malware from mining files.

My questions:
1. Can I have two OS of Windows 10 on two separate SSD drivers?
2. One driver can have the latest GPU drivers for gaming, and the other has the v.470.05 driver for mining? (can I switch them in the bios setting anytime?)
3. If I get a trojan or malware on the mining driver. Will it affect the other driver even if the different OS separates them?

Thanks for your time,
Brett
