Hey.

I have a GTX 590 at the moment that I use for gaming. I currently have 3 BenQ screens connected and the only way to do this is to disable Multi GPU Mode in Nvidia Settings, so each time I want to game something intensive I have to disable one of my screens.

I have an old GTX (or GT?) 450 laying around. Can I plug this into my motherboard and use one of my screens on this? For instance, I have only 2 screens plugged into the GTX 590 and one plugged into the 450. Will I be able to use the 450 as a Graphical Slave device? Will this let my GTX 590 run at full potensial being Multi GPU Enabled?

Too scared to try it out without asking you guys.

Thanks.

Its not SLI, so it should not be bottlenecking it. I'm just using the 450 as a slave for a third screen and Phsyx. Before Multi GPU Mode was disabled when using 3 screens, so I was unable to use my GPU to its fullest, that problem has been solved now by using another dedicated GPU as a slave device.
