can i put 2 GPU in one pc

[saba17]

Can I put two GPU in one computer and does it need to be the same video card?

You can put 2 GPU's in the same computer. If you want them to work together then it needs to be the same card and should support SLI or crossfire.

By same card do you mean exact same model or just same class as in any AiB 2080 will do but it must be a 2080 and no a super or Ti?

If your wanting more performance in gaming, sell the existing card and buy a faster one. Multi-GPU's just dont work that well (or in many cases, at all) for gaming.

 

If you are wanting the second GPU for other reasons, say rendering workloads, VM's or other general compute applications, then sure you can fit what you like and they dont have to match so long as your software can utilise whatever you've installed.

Same class. So like 2 2080 or 2 3090 if the nvlink/sli bridge fits.

For Nvidia you need the same GPU Core, ie 1060 to a 1060, not 2060 to 2060super

 

But at one point, AMD crossfire worked across multiple GPU types, like APU + GPU

Though I don't remember it ever working properly

 

As for OP, yes you can fit more than one GPU (and type of GPU) in a system, it depends on your software if it needs SLI or not, most professional softwares don't

 

Games do need SLI/CF but it's generally a bad idea if you're using it for games.

3060ti if you can find one.
