Use for a second non-SLI Nvidia GPU?

[Dubesta11]

I have a GTX 660ti as my main card, and a spare 650ti Boost. What could be some uses for it in this system besides a separate physx processer?

If you want to have more than 4 displays. That's pretty much it.

[Sauron]

You can use it for physx, go the the nvidia driver and set the 650ti boost as physx processor. It only makes a difference in games that USE physx of course. Alternatively I think you can use it to encode gameplay footage on the fly, but I don't know how.

If you do video editing you can make one GPU render one project and the other do another

I think you can sli them by tricking the mobo that its another 660?

Nope not possible.

Nope not possible.

Ohh okay. Too bad. Well you could always sell it and save money for a future upgrade

Use it as a dedicated Physx processor.

 

I used a 560TI for a while with my 780 and I saw at least 5-8 frames more in every Physx game. Now I understand 5-8 frames Isn't much, but that's just becasue my 780 wasn't choking on the Physx part mainly due to the sheer amount of Cuda cores. With a configuration like yours though, you could really benefit in games like Hawken, Warframe, and the Batman series.

That's what I was thinking, but the only game I ever played with Physx was Planetside 2, but they disabled it due to performance problems.

I don't know if it would be worth straight up selling, but I might include it in a future build and/or sell it when I move to a place with more interest. (Unless you want to buy a gaming computer in Maine )

I hate it because it's not good enough for the games I want to play, and too good for a build for my parents.
