I currently have a GTX 550ti Graphics card and my motherboard has many PCI 3.0 slots.
Just wondering if I can pair two GeForce cars of a different series such as :
GTX 550ti AND GTX 660Ti

I want to be able to run battlefield 4 on High/Ultra

My set up:
Intel i7 Porcessor
Motherboard (DDR3 4x 240 pin, PCI Exp 3.0 x2 slots, 1 PCI Express 2.0 slot)

Not in SLI (Scaled Link Interface)...You can plug them both in, and have one handle PhysX though.

Your post implies you want more performance (SLI), so: I'd personally sell the 550ti and go with a beefier single card....else grab a second 550ti (preferably same clock and VRAM amount...not a must, but the "weakest" of the cards will limit the other in SLI)

They say I shouldn't get a second EVGA 550 ti . ~LINK~
I haven't used the 550ti yet so how much should it be sold and also is the GTX 550ti still a good card ? because it can run BF3 at Ultra.

Even in that thread they told you it cant run bf3 at beyond medium except in small resolutions.

It CANT RUN BF3 at ultra. It is respectable in as much as any card is respectable over a onboard video system. But the x50 are all considered entry level cards, low graphics settings / HD movies.

Its fine for older games, but not newer. You should get maybe 50% to 2/3 of its original price.
