gpu Dual GPU doubt

[FreqEvans]

Hi LTT forum, I have a question.

 

It's possible to pair a GTX 1050 Ti (PCIe x16, 75W) with a GT 710 (PCIe x1, 25W)?

 

My system is a Lenovo H50-50, that are the specs:

i5-4460 CPU

12 GB DDR3 RAM

Lenovo Sharkbay MoBo

Corsair CX450M PSU

 

Thanks in advance!

It's possible to have both in the same system, yes, but it won't make games run any faster.

i mean you could put a 3080 with a gt 710

 

BUT you cant run SLI or NVLink. (not that the 1050 ti even has nvlink i think)

pair them to work together on a task? depends on software

but games no

 

installed in a system together? yes.

Yeah I know, I need this config for multi-display in my office. How about the drivers? I need to install two different driver for each GPU?

Just posted the reason why I need that thing. Office stuff, I need a lot of displays for easy stuff like presentation, excel and so on. No 3D or Photoshop

so what.

if you have 2 gpu's you will have gpu's. nothing is going to blow up, nothing is going to run faster (i think), your cpu isnt going to magically upgrade and your monitor wont run at a billion hz.
