Hey guys, I recently put 2 cards into my computer one for each screen. An old gtx 275 SOC and a gtx 560 SOC and im trying to play wow on one and swtor on the other but im having fps drops when i try both games on at once. I figured this would dedicate a gpu to each monitor and be fine...

Putting two cards from a different numbers (eg. 2xx and 5xx) can cause compatibility issues since one card supports DX11 and the other cannot, so it is not recommended to use two totally different GPU together.

Your FPS drop may be these two issues :
1- Your computer only use 1 graphic card.
2- There is not enough CPU power.

Hope it helps! :) 

oh i see, i heard the mb just isnt meant to split the load correctly also. and i think your right about it using only 1 card, is there a way to use both evenly?

sucks cause for some reason if i play wow/skyrim on the gtx560 it glitches, freezes and crashes, i can only play swtor on that card.
