Couldn't you use the Nvidia card for CUDA and just have an AMD card for the display. It's a little dumb having two graphics cards, you need a spare PCI slot and graphics cards are expensive (but you could just get a cheap old and used card, if it's just for your desktop environment).

I'm asking because it seems like no one relying on Nvidia card for number crushing and who want Wayland seem to have opted to just get a second card.

The top CUDA cards don't even do display. Anyway tons of CPUs have a good-enough on-die GPU that you can use for display in a pinch.

In a pinch if you only want one display.
