Hey I am buying a new computer but when I came across choosing the video cards, I choose the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 1.2GB 16X PCIe Video Card and there was another choice to add another video card so I choose the same one again. Is this option for adding additional video cards for duel moniters? Cuz i was thinking if i add another video card to my computer it would run twice as fast instead of 1 video card.|||It's called a GPU friend.
I wouldn't go about trying to set up SLI unless you have an SLI mobo.|||If you want to have two monitors you should check the specs of the graphic card, if it supports up to three or six monitors.
If you want to add a second graphic card and have them in SLi you should make sure that your mother board supports SLi and second that you have a sufficient power supply and third if you go for nVidia you should know that you must have the exact same cards you can't add a GTX 570 and a GTX 580 Any ATi can do but must be the same chip .
The GTX 570 & 580 need at least 600W Power supply for one card, for two you will need 750W+
Either you have 1 or two card you will be able to play only from the one. In other words if the card supports three monitors and you add an other one that doesn't mean you will be able to play up to six monitors
If you add a second card that does not mean necessary that your system will run x2 fast but it will definitely boost it.
