Two Gpu's without SLI

ZedTheAwesome

So i have  MSI GeForce GT 740 DirectX 12 N740-4GD3 4GB 128-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready ATX Video Card and I wonder if i could get the same GPU and put in my PC and then run both of the one VGA and the other DV-I one running from one monitor for one and the other for the other.

My thoughts  are because one card wont be taking the weight of both monitors and run faster this is just my speculation I don't know much.

  1. I couldn't understand a thing. Little writting tip: if you use "and" more than 2 times in the same phrase, you are doing it wrong. Yours has 5; delete it all and start from scratch. It'll make things much easier for us.
  2. Running monitors off of a single card doesn't affect performance.

If you want to have both monitors work at the same time then you have to run them both off of the one card regardless. However, you can run the monitors off the one and assign the second card to do a separate type of processing, like in the new 1080 conference when they had two cards in SLI for graphics and the third dedicated to their new sound rendering technology

This. A 750 Ti is a huge leap over what you have, and shouldn't have any issue pushing two 1080p monitors at once outside of gaming and rendering scenarios.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Not true, you can use multiple graphics cards for multiple monitors. You only need to have all monitors connected to the primary card if you're running in SLI.

Doesn't even need to be a GPU, works fine with the iGPU also.
