Pairing GPUs?

[iKingRPG]

Hi I was wondering if I could use my h270m ds3h motherboard and use my evga GTX 1060 3gb with a completly different Nvidia gpu such as a 980, 710, or 1050. I saw someone posted this already but it was a year old thread. If it does work, how would I set up the drivers?

 

Thanks

You can use 2 different gpu's on ther, but it won't be any faster in games.

If you mean SLi, no.

the h-series chipsets do not support SLI, not even two nVidia cards as they both need x8 minimum to function (without a mobo hack). some can support crossfire.

so to answer the question two nVidia cards is no. SLI or not.

z-series only on the dual card support.

Yes, you can install two different types of GPUs in one system. Not sure if your intent is to SLI them, but for SLI, the two GPUs need to be the same.

 

As far as the drivers are concerned, just install any driver package and the rest will be handled for you automatically.

Would SLI work with another identical card? how identical does it have to be? can the v ram be different? Like a evga gtx 1060 3gb with a gigabyte gtx 1060 4gb?

Does only the cpu have to match?

[airdeano]

no.. you'll need a z-series board for SLI.
