Hello !

I have some questions for you guys and i hope you can help me.
Currently i`m running a PC with a MSI GTX 750 Ti Twin Frozr, CPU: i3 3220 and a GIGABYTE Z77 motherboard.
I`m wondering if it`s possible to put my old GPU, not in SLI, a Gainward GT 630.
I will use just one display. I want to use the GTX card just for 3D renderings (Blender, Lumion, Keyshot etc), and the GT 630 for display and for windows interface. I think this could help saving some memory.
I know that it`s a simple setup: you just plug your old card and voila! But i`m asking you what kind of settings should i do? Drivers for the GTX are compatible with GT 630?

You can't SLI GTX 750 Ti on GT 630.

First of all, you'll need the same GPU.

Second, the only ones that you can SLI are mid-end to high-end GPUs

I.E 660, 670, 680, 760, 770, 780, 780 Ti, and so on.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. I knew you can`t SLI them, i just wanted to know if it`s any possibility of linking them, but i supposed not.

No problem.

Although, you can use the GT 630 as a dedicated PhysX card.

It'd help relieve the stress of processing more for PhysX when you've got yourself a dedicated PhysX card.

Install GT 630 on the second available PCI-Express.

Go to Nvidia Control Panel, then head to PhysX tab, then just choose GT 630 as your dedicated PhysX GPU.

Ok, and how about the drivers ? Now i have the GTX drivers installed on my machine. When i plug the GT 630 should i install those for GT 630 ?

It's all going to be the same drivers, don't worry.
