I am looking to upgrade my machine. My current motherboard is a ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.1), which currently runs a Geforce GTX 560Ti. I am looking to grab another video card (GeForce GTX 760) as my main video card and keep the 560Ti in the box to run a third monitor. I am curious if these board supports multiple video cards since the cards these days are so wide? I am not necessarily looking to do SLI or anything, but would like a true three monitor setup without using a slow external usb adapter which I am using now.

Thanks,

i believe that motherboard does support sli and crossfire. I used to have revision 3.0, and I sli 680s on it. I was able to fit that fat asus direct cu2 680 and a regular sized msi 680. No problems.

Is it possible to SLI two different video cards? The current 560Ti is an EVGA, and plan to buy the same manufacturer. I wasn't sure if it is possible despite both being an Nvidia chipset and I have heard mixed things on that...

 


No

here are also very few restrictions regarding what GPUs can be grouped together in SLI: only the model and memory amounts have to match. For example, a GTX 580 with 1.5GB of memory could only be paired with another GTX 580 that has 1.5GB of memory, and a GTX 690 only with another GTX 690. Beyond that, manufacturers can be mixed (e.g. ASUS with MSI, EVGA with PNY,) clock speeds may vary (stock versus factory-overclocked,) the VGA BIOS for each card can be different, and no special drivers or software is required.
