2 GPU's

[GeneralGusher]

hey so I have a gtx 1050 SC and I just found this old ATI  3450 graphics card and was wondering if this card will affect any performance in my PC if I were to install it with my GTX 1050.

 

Would it decrease my performance,stay the same or will it increase the performance (probably by very little if it did)

you can kinda your only able to use 1 or the other not both so what i mean you can get more monitors but thats it really and it will affect temps

it will do nothing because you cannot use both on one monitor.

It will make no difference.

 

Should just run  as a second display adapter

 

If you don need to add more displayoutputs. Then don use it

You can plug it, it won't effect anything. 

If you have multiple monitors you can use both at the same time.

Ok thanks! I just wanted to make sure that it wouldn’t affect my performance negativity

It's also a useless power consumption.

It serves no purpose sitting there.
