Help with finding a LGA 775 Socket motherboard with dual SLI.

Country: USA

As the title says if anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated. I have an older computer that was in the attic, and I want to refurbish and upgrade. It has a EVGA GeForce GTX 560 2GB Vram GPU, an Intel core 2 duo at @2.40 GHZ, 850W Power Supply.

I would like to put another GTX 560, Is this possible with the right motherboard?

I'd say a good LGA775 motherboard with the appropriate nvidia chipset for SLI is worth more than a GPU faster than 2x GTX 560's.

Main: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti, 16 GB 4400 MHz DDR4 Fedora 38 x86_64

Secondary: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Fedora 38 x86_64

Server: AMD Athlon PRO 3125GE, 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 ECC, TrueNAS Core 13.0-U5.1

Home Laptop: Intel Core i5-L16G7, 8 GB 4267 MHz LPDDR4x, Windows 11 Home 22H2 x86_64

Work Laptop: Intel Core i7-10510U, NVIDIA Quadro P520, 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Windows 10 Pro 22H2 x86_64

The 500 series would typically be paired with something newer than 775 , usually 1366 by that time.

if you want to build a period piece something like a first gen i7 setup would be more in line. but really though I'd also go with a higher end 500 series card as two 560's aren't going to be any faster than a better single 500 series card.

Especially if it's in working condition.
