Can I put 2 or more video cards in my computer?
My computer has a bunch of open AGP and PCI slots. I have a pretty good
video card from nvidia in one of the AGP slots. Can I put another video card in another AGP/PCI slot? Will it work? Basically: Can I put two different video cards in a computer and have them kind of double graphics power? |

Using two video cards will allow you to add more monitors. It will NOT
increase your video power! And it will have to be a slow PCI card, since motherboards only come with ONE AGP slot. -- DaveW wrote in message oups.com...

Basically: Can I put two different video cards in a computer and have them kind of double graphics power? You only have one AGP slot. You can put other PCI cards in to give you multiple monitors, but they will not provide more speed. Only SLI does that, which requires a PCI Express motherboard and graphics cards. -- Robert Hancock Saskatoon, SK, Canada To email, remove "nospam" from Home Page: http://www.roberthancock.com/ |
