I have Intel DH87MC motherboard which has 2 PCI express Slots Primary and Secondary.
So can I install 2 graphic cards on it ?
1. Geforce 610 GT 2GB
2. Geforce 1050 Ti mini 4 GB

As I already have a Geforce 610 GT 2GB intalled can I add Geforce 1050 Ti mini 4 GB to it or should I replace it.

Can someone suggest me or give me a solution
 
Solution
No, but given that the 1050 ti is so far superior to the 610, there is no good reason not to get rid of the 610. Multi card setups have issues of their own, especially since nVidia doesn't support SLI on lower cards. If you insist on using both, you could try setting the 610 to a dedicated Phyx card. That would possibly help in the few games that use it.

Even if you had two 1050 ti, nVidia does not enable SLI on them. SLI is only supported on the 1070 and higher.

Unless you need the 610 for more display outputs there is no reason to keep it in the computer otherwise since it will just sit there doing nothing but consuming power.
