Hi, I think i alredy know the answer to the question here but just wanted to make sure.
I am looking to buy myself a second grapichscard to my computer. Atm i have a Radeon HD 6850 and im looking to buy the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 2GB. I like this card but i would love the be able to connect my to GPU's and use the extra power from my old card (even though the card is old and quite bad) So my questions are: can i connect these two cards? (my guess is no) and what other card should i get to be able to connect the new one with the old one. Or do i gain more on buying the gtx 770 and sell the HD 6850? Thank you

Nope, can't run nvidia and amd cards together. You'd have to get another 6850 or another GTX 770, must be the same GPU for either situation. I'd sell the 6850 for sure.

For reference: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html. I'll bet a single 770 would easily beat out even 2x6850s.
