Graphics card?

[jnmbhj]

My second GPU came today but I don't know what to do.

Here's the issue, I have 2 graphics card that I want to run in crossfire but I also have a sound card. The xonar dg.

One option is to put the graphics card close together to add the sound card but the top graphics card has very limited air flow

Second option is to seperate the graphics card and so they both get a lot of air flow but then it blocks the sound card slot.

can't you sandwich the soundcard?

my personal preference would be visuals over sound .... give the cards room to breathe, then add the sound card back when you watercool the GPUs too!

 

For practicalilty, I would give the cards more room, they hold the higher value and you dont wantn to damage either of them

No unfortunately the xonar card is PCI and my motherboard only has 1 PCI slot

Since you already dropped the cash on the extra card I think it'd be a waste not to prioritize the Crossfire. I'd make the choice between what you value more, better sound or better graphics performance then go from there.

I have set it up in a the one in the picture but I have tried using the onboard sound it it sounded terrible. What I think I am going to do is get a DAC instead of another sound card
