I have a Windows desktop with an RX 9060 XT, an RX 7600, an MSI B550 Gaming Plus motherboard, a Ryzen 7 5700X3D, 32GB of DDR4-3200 memory, a 1TB NVMe SSD, and an 850W 80+ Gold power supply. Each graphics card works normally when used by itself, but enabling both cards in Device Manager eventually causes a driver crash or system instability. My goal is to dedicate the RX 7600 to running a lightweight agent while keeping the RX 9060 XT available for gaming, rather than buying another GPU. Is there a reliable way to keep both cards enabled at the same time?

What are you planning to use the second card for? Running two GPUs is not automatically beneficial, and support can be limited when mixing different AMD generations. In this case, the intended setup is to leave the RX 7600 handling the lightweight workload and reserve the RX 9060 XT for games, but the driver crash may mean the cards or current driver setup do not cooperate reliably. There may not be a performance advantage unless the software can explicitly select which GPU it uses.
I want the RX 7600 to run a lightweight agent while the RX 9060 XT handles gaming. Both cards work perfectly on their own, so I’m hoping to avoid replacing either one.
