Query about SLI

I was wondering if anyone could help me, I'm thinking of upgrading my gtx 770 to a 1070 and was wondering if there's any use left for my 770, could I use this in SLI to enhance any gaming performance or will this cause stutter? I also have a second monitor which I do not use for gaming could I run this monitor separately (ie not in SLI) using my 770 and would this take any weight off of the 1070?

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks.

David

Can you use a 1070 + 770 in SLI?  No, you must use the same model card.  My suggestion if you upgrade is to sell it for the cash.

Can you use a 770 to run a separate monitor?  Maybe...  But even if you can, it won't take any weight off the 1070.

 

tl;dr - sell it.

there is no use for it, maybe PhysX but there is little to no gain there and IIRC it was worse to have a PhysX card in some cases. just sell the card or keep it in a box

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.
