2 graphics cards

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: thepreacha619

what motherboards support 2 graphics cards? or what processor, or just how does it work?



Posted by: chainlink

All Nvidia SLI MOBO's support two Nvidia PCIe SLI enabled graphics cards, the new ATI Crossfire boards will support two ATI PCIe cards (as long as one of them is a Crossfire master card). Technically all boards with an AGP slot and PCI slot will support two but you'll lose a load of 3D functionality if you do this (if I remember correctly?). You could even do it with two PCI slots if you can find an old Voodoo SLI rig.

This depends on what you mean by two graphics cards... Do you mean SLI where the cards work together and act as one super-graphics-card? or do you mean two seperate graphics cards?

2 graphics cards working as one.

You can use the cards as two. If you plug another monitor into the other card you can have duelies. The combine power won't be as powerful because its supplying graphics to an additional monitor, but you can have two monitors and still decent graphics.

you can just buy 1 graphics card that supports 2 monitors and run something like msn on one monitor and a game on the other monitor
