Two graphic cards on same pc

Hi all. I have the following setup and I need help to make it work. A RADEON HD 5870 graphics card is connected to a PCI-E 2.0 slot on the motherboard and a RX 580 graphics card connected to a riser. All running on Windows 10. Well, how can I install the drivers of both video cards so that Windows recognizes both of them?

The HD 5000 series is a legacy card and does not use the same drivers as the RX 580. You can't use them together.

I know that, but i don't want to use both cards at the same time (eg: for playing games). The RX 580 I just want to use it to mining cryptocurrency. I need the HD 5870 only to view the screen. I don't need the RX 580 to display anything. Just be recognized by the system.

Unfortunately, you cannot. Both graphics cards need to run the same driver version and that is not possible with the HD5870 and the RX580.
