adding the second will not double the power you need at least a gx460.

A GTX 560 Ti is minimum for this game at 1080p on medium to high settings.

What is your resolution?

i will be buying a 560 GTX in a few weeks when i get the money together, i was hoping to use this as a temporary solution to my problem till i get the new GPU

yes you can play it on lower setting.

i have all the settings set to low, my main issue is that on a few maps, the island map and i think caspian border, every time i get on them my game crashes instlantly from gfx card errors, will the combination of the 2 cards fix that temporarly, thats my main question i guess. or do i just need to deal with it till i get my new card
