this was almost exactly what i was looking for, im in the process of designing my first pc (i gave myself 6 months to do research and save up), and was wondering wether i could throw in a cheap old card, to get use out of some dvi/vga screens i have laying around, to use for simple things like watching youtube, or having documents up. i was considering to just use adapters before, but i have had very bad experiences with monitors properly working with adapters, so knowing this is at least somewhat possible is great!
Benchmark a game using the gaming card, with and without additional GFX card. Would be interested to know if there's a (likely small) performance boost in the sense that the 2nd monitor is being taken care of.
The Ultimate question in a summarized form. "Yes, You can use two graphics cards for a PC (However). I would recommend that you don't mix match the graphics cards as downloading two types of display Drivers can conflict with each other. Overall, Don't get rid of your old graphics card, If you computer provides you a second PCI-E 16 Slot, Buy a new one and you still can use the old one. It will register them both. (But I recommend using the same brand of the graphics card such as Nvidia with Nvidia(Old) Or AMD with AMD(Old) Generation cards. ) The reason of why using the same Brand of Cards is that it will be able to register and keep things more appropriate for the system, So the System doesn't have to work harder on producing two different Drivers. But out of the box if you really wanted too, You can put two different graphics cards into a System, But as a professional, I Recommend that you don't use a graphics card that is AMD + Nvidia Mixed cards... Because, It can and will bog down your system and disqualify you to use SLI or Crossfire capabilities. The PCE-I 16 Slots are as intended. As long as your Motherboard supports the capability of Multi-Card functionality its Highly likely you can run two graphics cards JUST FINE. So long as you have enough power and do your research on what is compatible for the motherboard itself. But be warned however.. Just because you put in two different graphics cards for the functionality of "HIgher" performance" it doesn't work that way unfortunately unless you set up your cross fire or SLI capabilties. (Also) Most SLI or Crossfire capabilities require you to have the same card as its simplified on getting the most performance out of the graphics card, But really my opinion if you do run dual graphics... Mostly it is used in recording or editing software or Streaming capabilites if one card is better than the other.
I have gtx 1650 super and gt 730 installed in my pc.. It's been a month I am not able to get them work. If I installed driver for 1650s, driver of gt739 gets uninstalled. Is there any solution?
Working on picking parts for my first time building a PC. I wanted to run a moderately high-end GPU for my main monitor and have a second cheap one to run a secondary monitor that wouldn't be used as often. But I wasnt sure if you could mis-match them. Thanks for the help
Awsome! Nice vid. I ordered a 2070 super, and I have this 1650 and a 750 watt power supply and 3 graphic card slots. I can now just keep the 1650 for my stream and chat monitor and the 2070 super for the gaming and video processing monitor! Thanks man! Update: works great!
@morty shorty open MSI afterburner or task manager to see which one is using the most recourses, or is working the hardest while your playing a game. Also depends on what monitor your using. Use the monitor that’s connected to your better GPU
Funnily enough I'm going to be in the exact same situation - I have a 1650, am thinking of getting a 2070 super and was wondering if this would work. Great news haha!

From what I've read, Windows 10 is still relying on the primary GPU for all video processing, and just relaying that through PCIe to whatever the second card is. So, if that is true, there would be no performance increase VS using 2 ports on the same GPU. You would basically just be adding another HDMI port to the system at the expense of the second card's idling power draw, PCIe bandwidth usage, and airflow reduction in the case. I'm not sure that would be worth it over getting a
@@ignyte From my experience, you don't need to set anything. Just move the game window (the actual game play, not the client like Steam client) to the monitor who's display is being powered by the gaming GPU. Since the gaming GPU is providing the graphics power to that specific display, that's what will be used for the game window. Use the weaker GPU to power the non-gaming displays. I've done this w/ integrated graphics and a small GPU. I'm about to try what the youtuber did in this vid
This isn't to save $ on an adapter cable like the youtuber said, its really for when your main GPU is all maxed out on videos ports. Currently have a RTX 3070 using all 4 ports and need to add a 5th monitor. So I either buy a $70 USB video adapter that's going to make the GPU and CPU work more or I add a small PCI-E-powered card like the one in the video (which I already have).
I do have a question....how do I make sure..that my game only plays on my RTX 2060 KO and not my GT 1030 Edit: computer does it automatically as long as it's on the same display that is hooked up to that monitor
Exactly the video, I was looking for... Have the same situation of single HDMI port and two monitors, Why didn't TH-cam didn't recommend me your channel... Yet. You're a Gem bro.. Love from India
I'm running an RX 5500XT and a GT 730 main reason is because I needed VGA but now it is my encoder card for twitch. And yes, they both work well. But if there is a game that favors nvidia *cough* seige *cough* use will use the nvidia card
For me I just hooked up two gpus and it decreased my performance so much that it crashes on every game, and when I had only 1 gpu it would be fine. Why?
i really like how simple your viedeos are, u dont have a camera man or anything like that, and u make great vids, keep going dode, you can reach the top.
Thanks for making the vid on this topic! I decided to try it, because of the way My PC is set up. I'm using a 7.1 AV receiver, and sadly, My PC doesn't have an Optical output, so the sound is running through HDMI for quality reasons. It always bothered Me, that Nvidia CPanel recognized it as an additional display. Nvidia Inspector defaults were set to multi display mode and even though changing it to single display mode, it never kind of felt right... Anyways, I had a few old AMD's just sitting on the shelf, and decided I'd try connecting an old R7 250X 1GB to use for HDMI Sound & extra display. Pretty simple process to experiment with. RESULT - Smoother frametimes! Tried a few games out, and surprisingly, most of them played smoother than ever before... SotTR being an exception in My case. I didn't confirm, if it actually changed the fps, but frametimes are WAY SMOOTHER thanks to running 2 GPU's & TBH I'm happy with this kind of setup! :) Hopefully it stays this way, until I get a chance to upgrade MoBo & CPU ^^. After 2 hours spent on getting an answer about the functionality of 2 GPU's, I consider Your video to be most helpful, so Thanks again! Specs: CPU -FX-8320 @3.8 Main GPU - Zotax 1070 8GB paired with BenQ XL2411P 1080p @144hz Extra GPU - Asus R7 250X connected to 7.1 AV Receiver + Samsung 2443BW 1080p @60hz RAM - 12GB Samsung SSD 860 EVO (Don't know why or how, but after installing 2nd GPU, benchmark went up 2x, from 512 R/W, to 1gb R/W)
You can go into windows settings and set different programs to run on different graphics cards. This is commonly used to run games on server gpus(no video out) in computers that have igpu's.
That seems to be easier said than done, in my case anyway. I found this video trying to find a way to run two games at the same time on two cards on two monitors, but big fail apparently.
This was very helpful and i actually really enjoyed watching your video, usually these types of videos are super cringy but you definitely have the potential to get hundreds of thousands of subscribers in the future. Good luck on your journey!
Nvidia Game ready drivers ensure that you can run your 2070 super for the monitor running OBS and your 3060 Ti running video games on your main monitor.
Im having an issue where it says that i dont have enough resources for my second gpu (2070) and my main works fine (3080) anyway to fix it, its code 12
when i was searching for "can i use two graphics cards" i would only come up with people talking about whether or not to link two cards together, but i just have a number of old screens that wouldn't need any serious performance behind them. (though one has since died so, i guess time is taking care of that...)
@ Dinkie The Sink This is exactly what I am looking for! Question, what is your motherboard? What is the 2nd PCIe slot? Is it a 'fake' x16 (only the size x16, but only x4 in lanes, which is a common setup amongst the cheaper boards), or a real x16? Thanks if you answer me!
Ya, active HDMI to DP is costly if a good 1. But, HDMI to DVI-D @ 1080 either direction is cheep, $4 adapter (most good GPU's over 4yrs has at least 1 DVI-D , but, getting 1440+, 2K/4K 30 out is the other half. Those adapters coast and need USB power.
I don't think its cheaper to run 2 GPUs rather than buying an hdmi to displayport adapter. If the second monitor is being used only for youtube or whatever, you don't need high refresh rates. That means you could buy a cheap adapter for like $5-$8. For two GPUs you'd need a PSU that's strong enough to power both of them while heavy gaming i presume and the electricity bill will rise too. I just don't see it being that efficient and worth the trouble.
Intresting Video none the less, Currently trying to fix a No display No Boot Amd RX570 while running my other 2 monitors off of my Gtx 960 so Kinda running into problems with software. Rx570 is detected by Device manager but for some reason wont display at all regardless of the GTX960 being Primary right now
Thank man i use rx 570 for gaming and editing in my main monitor and r5 230 for watching and typing for my second monitor because i dont want my rx 570 overheat
Cool cause I want to connect my vr headset but I only have 1 hmdi and a shity monitor with no display port cause I play vr anyways tanks I'm gonna try that

Exept that you cannot stream your game with the other card when your playing and using a monitor with your main card. There is a trick how you can technically do it. But there are lots of test and... You gonna actually have performance drop compared to singe gpu. You just can use the other card for editing, media, watcing twitch etc..
What I want to do is turn off completely my 1660 while working to use my 1050 with less power consumption. The easiest thing to do in that particular case whit two monitors is to buy a DVI to HDMI adapter, like 2x 8$. I really like DVI, is very versatile.
i have a triple display setup running all on a 1660 and im looking to buy an RX 6800XT. I guess i will try to use my 1660 for my 2 secondary display, hoping a 850W psu will support those 2 cards.
Yes, but the problem appears when you use dvi-d-vga adapter. It leads to worsening the image quality in compare with straight vga-vga connection. And it really matters when you work for a lon time.
I have tried this, with my rx5700 connected to my 65 inch 4k tv for gaming and a cheap old GT710 for my work monitor, for youtube and internet etc...the problem I come across is that when I use both cards, all works, except, I can't get the full 4k resolution on my tv and I can't figure out why. My other monitor is 1080p. I still trying to figure that out...
Hey !, Ive got 2x gtx1070 SLI and I have 2 monitors. My 2 monitors are plugged into 1 GFX Card . I have noticed that one of my GFX cards NETHER RUNS.. is that because i need to plug 1 card into 1 monitor and the or monitor into the other card ?
@@moneysg0ne33 I'm pretty sure you can back me up then on the fact you dont need much of a pc to run roblox, I will bet my pc that he doesnt have 2 2080 tis haha
amazing!! i got told all time that u need the same gpu in the same system to make it work... looks like my old gpu is going to be rebirt from the drawer grave!
Hey man, i really need to know about one thing, my main graphic card is 1050ti and other is ati 5750 which is generation older just like in your video, my question is, how do i get the same display in both the monitors because i m using a capture card in other monitor, actually that is an laptop, so can you help me out, i need same display!!
so you did not need to plug Crossfie or SLI (Scalable Link Interface) on the two video cards it seems except the two HDMI cables to the video cards. Curiously, IBM used to call video cards adapter cards.
Crossfire or SLI was used for a multiple GPU, 1 Monitor setup where the screen split into parts which were rendered one per GPU. The interface you are talking about is called a bridge, its purpose was to transfer data between those cards so you wouldn't need to connect the second GPU to the monitor too.
Yes and no! I have 2 monitors on one GPU and I want to add one more display tablet to my second GPU (both the same 1080 ti) The one that I connect to the second GPU...tho it works in terms of showing me stuff on display...can't use Photoshop, Blender etc. I get OpenGL errors...
what about drivers? Do we need to install both gpu drivers like one is nvidia and second one is AMD i already have amd driver installed in my pc which is rx 5500 xt so i have another gpu which is gt 9600 gt not using. But i want to add into my pc so do i need download the driver of nvidia as well or just let it go ?
I was wondering, can I have AMD (Radeon Saphire G7) and NVIDIA(GTX 1050Ti) on the same Motherboard? One connected to one monitor the other to another monitor?
Can we use one monitor for CAD works(CPU intensive) having a Quadro card and another one for renderings(basically graphics intensive work) having a GTX card?
would this work with any 2 gpus? wanna get a card that has vga out to play older games meant for crt (mainly net play for dolphin emulator) . my roommate already has multiple crt monitors and i can use one. i think its a cheaper route then buying a 144 refresh rate monitor. someone told me on another videohaving 2 diffrent gpus can be harmful to the pc? they didnt elaborate though so im not sure if they knew what they were talking about. i currently have a 2060 super. any help would be greatly appreciated. i dont understand computers all that well
Great video man, I have been looking for this. One question: I have 3 monitors for my desk, And I have been looking for 3 more monitors for my simrig setup. So all I need is two different graphics cards for it to work? I only need 4 of the monitors to have good performance, The other two is just extra for web and stuff. I have two 970s atm but I am looking for gpu upgrade when I can get one :)
I have a AMD 6700xt that I just purchased and I replaced my 970 Nvidia but now I may reinstall my 970 Nvidia and just use that particular card to watch movies on while I'm gaming on the same PC that's running the game on the 6700xt that will keep me from having to pay a lot more money for a 6900xt

You can daisy-chain display port. Since most decent GPUs have 3 DP and 1 HDMI, that's at least 7 monitors with the ports on 1 GPU.

i have a triple display setup running all on a 1660 and im looking to buy an RX 6800XT. I guess i will try to use my 1660 for my 2 secondary display, hoping a 850W psu will support those 2 cards.
Perfekt video its Actualy what i searched for thanks
I had this question. Thanks G came right from that can you use two gpu’s video.
For the record, hdmi to display port adapters are not expensive at all.
Yes, but the problem appears when you use dvi-d-vga adapter. It leads to worsening the image quality in compare with straight vga-vga connection. And it really matters when you work for a lon time.
great video, answered my own question, because I want a second monitor and want to use a gt710 for it
Thanks for this man!
I have tried this, with my rx5700 connected to my 65 inch 4k tv for gaming and a cheap old GT710 for my work monitor, for youtube and internet etc...the problem I come across is that when I use both cards, all works, except, I can't get the full 4k resolution on my tv and I can't figure out why. My other monitor is 1080p. I still trying to figure that out...
You are an original tech TH-camr
what if you start the application on the "good" monitor and than drag it to the other. Does this work?
awesome test bro. i definitely going to test it myself.
did you test it long term ? did it hold up
Beautifully spoken my friend
Hey !, Ive got 2x gtx1070 SLI and I have 2 monitors. My 2 monitors are plugged into 1 GFX Card . I have noticed that one of my GFX cards NETHER RUNS.. is that because i need to plug 1 card into 1 monitor and the or monitor into the other card ?
Good to hear dinkie.
Performance degrades
Ive run a AMD 6900 + Nvdia 710 and works great. But when I upgrade from Nvdia 3090 + Nvdia 710, only 3090 wirks and the 710 fails. Any idea why?
Not working for me idk why. Using a gtx 1070 and old Radeon card
tnx for the help now i run 2 2080 ti graphic cards in 2 different but same monitors
no need to flex lol
By the fact you only play Roblox and are about 10, no offence dude dont think you have 2 graphics cards that would cost a few grand
HappyNutella i play roblox I’m 12
@@moneysg0ne33 I'm pretty sure you can back me up then on the fact you dont need much of a pc to run roblox, I will bet my pc that he doesnt have 2 2080 tis haha
HappyNutella Ye he prob dosent
amazing!! i got told all time that u need the same gpu in the same system to make it work... looks like my old gpu is going to be rebirt from the drawer grave!
Hey man, i really need to know about one thing, my main graphic card is 1050ti and other is ati 5750 which is generation older just like in your video, my question is, how do i get the same display in both the monitors because i m using a capture card in other monitor, actually that is an laptop, so can you help me out, i need same display!!
so you did not need to plug Crossfie or SLI (Scalable Link Interface) on the two video cards it seems except the two HDMI cables to the video cards. Curiously, IBM used to call video cards adapter cards.
Crossfire or SLI was used for a multiple GPU, 1 Monitor setup where the screen split into parts which were rendered one per GPU. The interface you are talking about is called a bridge, its purpose was to transfer data between those cards so you wouldn't need to connect the second GPU to the monitor too.
Very informative.
Yes and no! I have 2 monitors on one GPU and I want to add one more display tablet to my second GPU (both the same 1080 ti) The one that I connect to the second GPU...tho it works in terms of showing me stuff on display...can't use Photoshop, Blender etc. I get OpenGL errors...
Well what do you know, 2 years down the line I have the save 1660 super and a msi 980. And was looking for this exact solution🤣🤣🤣
what about drivers? Do we need to install both gpu drivers like one is nvidia and second one is AMD i already have amd driver installed in my pc which is rx 5500 xt so i have another gpu which is gt 9600 gt not using. But i want to add into my pc so do i need download the driver of nvidia as well or just let it go ?
nice vid!!! thanks for being so informative!!
Great video Dinkie your content is epic!
on display adapters in device manager, there is only one card. I use two GT630
Thanks for the video!
I was wondering, can I have AMD (Radeon Saphire G7) and NVIDIA(GTX 1050Ti) on the same Motherboard? One connected to one monitor the other to another monitor?
I have a Geforce GT 740 and an RTX quadro A2000. can i mix both ?
I got the answer here to my question to your other video. Thanks
If you have 2 gpu with crossfire capable, disable it or dual video dont work. I have 2 RX570 and crossfire wont let me have 2 video outputs
nice, i just myself a used rtx 2070 gaming x trio today for 240€ and i already have a gtx 1660 super oc
This is the content I need
Can we use one monitor for CAD works(CPU intensive) having a Quadro card and another one for renderings(basically graphics intensive work) having a GTX card?
if you use virtualization, yes, but if you dont it depends if the programs allow you to choose which GPU does the work.
Nvidia doesn’t allow quadro and GeForce drivers to be installed at the same time on the same machine
Thank you very much- From Iran
Does GeForce exp. handle all the drivers for both these gpu’s?
i thought you couldn't go from dvi-d to hdmi? or was it that you can't go from hdmi to dvi-d?
would this work with any 2 gpus? wanna get a card that has vga out to play older games meant for crt (mainly net play for dolphin emulator) . my roommate already has multiple crt monitors and i can use one. i think its a cheaper route then buying a 144 refresh rate monitor. someone told me on another videohaving 2 diffrent gpus can be harmful to the pc? they didnt elaborate though so im not sure if they knew what they were talking about. i currently have a 2060 super. any help would be greatly appreciated. i dont understand computers all that well
yes I believe that would work if u find a VGA card that has the specs needed to play the games on the CRT.
if i want to use 8 difference screens for present. can i user 2 quadro p1000? And which CPU and mainboard (gen11) can do that? thank you!
Yes that is actually a very common use for those quadros, any mainboard with two physical 16X pcie slots should be fine for this use
@@dinkiethesink tks, best regards!
I loved this video thanks
Great video man, I have been looking for this. One question: I have 3 monitors for my desk, And I have been looking for 3 more monitors for my simrig setup. So all I need is two different graphics cards for it to work? I only need 4 of the monitors to have good performance, The other two is just extra for web and stuff. I have two 970s atm but I am looking for gpu upgrade when I can get one :)
i actually was curious about this but sadlly runing a older pc that only has one pci lane sucks to sucks
but can you use the output of the second card while rendering the game on the main gpu?
i have a gt1030 and im trying to get a rtx2060 would it work??
and plus i only have one port for my gpu :(
I have a AMD 6700xt that I just purchased and I replaced my 970 Nvidia but now I may reinstall my 970 Nvidia and just use that particular card to watch movies on while I'm gaming on the same PC that's running the game on the 6700xt that will keep me from having to pay a lot more money for a 6900xt
