Multi GPU setup

Spired Fate · May 18, 2017

I have an EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 which I bought a few years ago and an Zotac Geforce GTX 970 which was recently given to me by a friend who upgraded his GPU. I would like to know 1. If I can use both GPUs in my computer, and 2. If so how I might go about doing it. I've read conflicting reports of people saying that different GPUs could be put in an SLI bridge.

You can use both of them in one computer, but you can't put them in SLI. Either 760 could be used as PhysX device (in games that use that), or to support more monitors then 970 could.

You will not be able to use the two GPUs in SLI. That means that you can't use the 760 to boost the performance of the 970. You'll get the same graphics performance with 970 alone as you would with the 970 and the 760 together. Like Dragor says, though, you can use the 760 as a PhysX card to add realistic in-game physics or use the 760 to add more monitors to your Windows desktop.

DRagor :

How would I go about using the secondary GPU as a PhysX device, would that be done within the game itself?

No, you set it up in NVidia Control Panel.

Is it even worth it to use it as a dedicated PhysX GPU?

Corwin65 :

I'd say not. The effect is impressive where it is supported. However, given the small selection of games I'd say it's not worth it.
