I currently run a GTX 650 Ti 2gb in my system. I was thinking of doing an upgrade. I was considering these options as possible graphics cards. I want to keep the GTX 650 ti 2gb in my system. Will I be able to keep the GTX 650 Ti 2gb in my system while running a different graphics card? Will there be conflicts with this current GTX 650 Ti 2gb drivers and different drivers? Or is it even worth getting a new card?

Here is my system

GTX 650 Ti 2gb
i7 4770k processor 3.5 ghz
8gb of G skill ram
Gigabyte z-87 UD3H
Creative Soundblaster Z series
Corsair 850 watt PSU


Here are the cards I am considering

EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti

Either buy a second GTX 650Ti and run it in SLI with your current card. Or Buy a new card and sell your 650Ti.

2 x 650Ti's in SLI will perform somewhere between a GTX 660 and a 660Ti. So if you were to buy a new card and sell your old 650Ti, you should be aiming for at least a 660ti - say a 760 or even 770 depending on what you can get for your $300 plus sales of your old 650Ti.

your curent card can only crossfire with another of the same gpu, you could keep it to run the physics on it but it is not worth it youd better sell it to get money toward a new gpu...now for the upgrade, a 750ti is not that much faster than your current gpu, i would not consider this upgrade you will not notice the difference in games...a 760 start to be a nice noticeable upgrade and a 770 would be an epic upgrade over what you have...it all depends on the budget between those too, you could aso consider going with a 280x if the price is right where you live...hope tha helps

No, you put both of your monitors into the main card, and then you can still use the old one for physix.
However, selling it and buying a better card does make more sense.
