Question: Is this possible?

[Aldaz108]

Is it possible if I have 2 video card slots, to have both my old GTX 560 and my new GTX 650ti 2gb SSC in my motherboard using both their powers together? I have the AS Rock Motherboard or something. Also, a 750 Watt power supply. If this is possible, can someone explain step by step on how to do it, and possible risks.

Hi

 

I think you are talking about "Crossfire"

This is where you link up 2 Video Cards and get them to act together to produce better graphics.

 

As far as I am aware - the two video cards need to be the same .....or at least come from the same generation.

This is to say ..... You may be able to Crossfire a GTX 650 with a GTX 670 .....but not with the GTX 560 as it is a different generation.

 

Another thing to think about is your motherboard ......... it may not support Crossfire anyway.

 

I have posted a video on Crossfire for information ....

You are right KenB.

I have crossfire setup on one machine and using 2 different cards without issues, but they must be the same series as you suggested.

Thanks for confirming DSTM :)

not possible for me to have both cards in then? because I was looking at my Nvedia Settings and it said CUDA (not sure what that is) but it had my gfx card, and it looked like I could select multiple cards with that.

No - sorry.

After a bit more reading ......

Nvidia are even more fussy than AMD.

You would need two identical cards.

Oh right, thanks for you're time anyways.
