Just curious as I am newer to PC gaming is there any benefit to adding an r7790 to my 1050 even though most games dont support multi GPU? Would I notice anything or would it only cause issues? 

Multi gpu doesn't work like that. You would need to of the same card i.e. (RTX 2070+RTX 2070=SLI) (RX590+RX590=Crossfire)

The cards need to support a multi gpu configuration being SLI(Nvidia) or Crossfire(AMD/ATI)

Also, multi GPU is 99.9% worse than just buying a better higher power GPU.

i think some games in dx12 supports multi gpu rendering in some games but its not that good and games like those arent so many at all (i think ashes of the singularity is the only game so far) but other than that you're better off with just one gpu cuz most games are optimized for single gpus

One game, in how many years?

no, that's not how it works and only in some DX12 Games that support multi GPU it is possible.

For 99% of all games it doesn't work.

 

I've tried Crossfire yesterday just for shits and giggles - and nothing I've tried, where I would have needed the Peroformance worked.

Resident Evil, The Division, AC:Odyssey...

It works for me where I need it, like 50% of the time or less.  And it always results in graphical glitches of some kind.

Wich is??

MW:O, Elite: Dangerous, Fallout 4, Fallout: NV @ 4k, Borderlands 1/2/3 @ 4k, Arma 2/3 @ 4k.

 

Granted, this is with RX 560's.  Performance is sub-par pretty much everywhere with a single card.  I do not run Crossfire 24/7, just had access to two cards because I have two entry level gaming desktops for reasons.
