I have a GTX 1050 ti that I have had for a long time and yesterday my cousin gave me his old gtx 950 and said i could use one card for each monitor or something but when i go in task manager it says only my gtx 1050 is doing anything. Is it possible to do what he said I could or am I doing it wrong?

TL;DR that configuration will not work

Your motherboard/chipset/processor is typically only capable of recognizing one GPU, lately that changed with SLI for NVidia and Crossfire for AMD, for SLI the 2 cards must have the same exact GPU, not just the same generation but the same exact GPU, this means that a 1070 can only be coupled with another 1070 and a 480 with another 480.

To top it off, the 1050 and the 1050 TI do not support SLI in the first place!

Hope this helps, it's not something that you did wrong it simply can't work.
