probably not. 2 gpus= 2 hardware. You just cannot mod 2gpus into 1 gpu. 

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

No, you can make them act like one, because that is already what SLI or Crossfire is trying to do.

Trying to parallelize the work your videocard has to do, so two videocards can work on it. This bring microstutters with it though, since 'what if' one videocard is done with their work, but has to wait on the other to finish their work?

 

Also, in the past they kind of did this with SLI. Back in the days when SLI stood for 'Scan line interface', the videocards would render every other line of your display, effectively making them act like a single videocard, but other ways of rendering everything in a given game were easier and more effective.

Not really, if you use 2x graphics cards without SLI or CrossFire, the computer will recognize that you are using more than one of the cards even if they don't support SLI or CrossFire and the majority of the workload will get assigned to one graphics card, while the other sits at near idle. This is really only used for running more than one monitor and not for computing purposes (ex. rendering or gaming).

Hope this information post was helpful  ?,
