Hello LinusTechTips community, im in a dilema right now about whether i can SLI these two grahpics cards or not. I shall explain the story

 

So my friend wasnt happy with his PC so he decided to upgrade his whole PC. Now hes old PC is in my hands with a Asus GTX650, and The exact samee Kingston RAM 2x 4GB Sticks. So my question is will i be able to SLI his GTX 650 with mine?

No, they don't support SLI.

Any 2x GTX650s can SLI with eachother (if your motherboard supports it).

Well no

Make sure they have the same amount of RAM, and that your PSU has enough PCIe connectors to power everything. Your motherboard also needs to be SLI certified 

Edit: For every GPU that can SLI, follow that up there, apparently 650s don't work as Nvidia said nope.

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

The GTX 650 doesn't support SLI in the first place. @iKauzKaos You cannot SLI two GTX 650s together. Sorry.

650s don't do SLi besides what you've said.

That gpu is not worth sliing just buy a new card like the r9 280 or r9 270x or something.

 

OP happened to have 2x GTX650s, he didn't go out to buy them.

Can you SLI a Titan x with the 900 series gpu's?

No. It has to be another Titan X.
