Hello,

So I have DDR3 motherboard (I know it's old) but I have an ASUS 750ti and ASUS 960. I was wondering what mother board and other components i would need to allow this graphics cards to work at the same time.

Also, if I did run the graphics cards at the same time, would it make a significant difference?

Thanks.

Simply put, you can't. At least, for any noticeable difference in gaming you can't run them both at the same time. If your motherboard has two pcie x16 slots, you could run one as a PhysX card in some games, but the difference will be minimal. When I say minimal, I mean *very* minimal. So that's basically not worth it.

If it's for computing power though, some programs could benefit from it. If you run something like BOINC or any GPU computing programs, that sorta stuff, you might benefit. If it's for gaming, it's not worth looking into (you won't be able to run them in SLI).
