Is Adding another GPU on my PCIe slot improve performance in gaming?

[Jade Jade]

Hi! , Im basically new to stuffs 
I have a Geforce RTX 3070 mounted on my z490 asrock mobo , does adding another same gpu on a pcie slot good? does it improves performance or anything?

[Lairlair]

Maybe it will improve performance by a small margin but only in specific games that are designed to take advantage of that. The bottom line is usually : no it's not worth it. It's usually better to get one single better GPU like a 3080, 3080 Ti or 3090 than to stack two 3070.

No. What you're thinking of is SLI and it hasn't been worth it for years.

 

save your money.

Are you talking about SLI? If in gaming, not really in most newer titles. In other workloads, yes.

Idk, maybe if you play a game that uses PhysX and you dedicate the card to PhysX. But honestly, I don't know how much it actually helps. And if you think of SLI, look at the above answers.

for gaming, no

 

3070 doesnt support SLI and DX12 multi gpu support in games is limited to... 2 titles i think

There were 6 games total as far as I remember but as of today only one game has kept it functional and that is ashes of the singularity. Aka the benchmark game.

You could probably mine while gaming though with 2 cards.
