Yes, you can run two different graphics cards on the same motherboard if it has enough PCIe slots and supports technologies like NVIDIA SLI or AMD CrossFire. However, they must be from the same manufacturer for these technologies. For non-SLI/CrossFire setups, you can still use two cards, but they will operate independently.
FAQs & Answers
- Can I use different brands of graphics cards together? Different brands can be used, but they won’t work in SLI or CrossFire configurations, and will function independently.
- What do I need to use two graphics cards in my PC? You'll need a motherboard with sufficient PCIe slots and a power supply capable of handling two cards.
- Will using two graphics cards improve gaming performance? It can improve performance if supported by SLI or CrossFire, but performance gains vary by game and setup.
