2 graphics cards 1 monitor

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

Hi I am relatively new to graphics cards and don't know a whole lot I have a silent rig and would like to keep it that way. My thoughts on a graphics card was Sapphire Radeon Ultimate HD 7750 1GB DDR5 http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/sapphire_7750_u.... I only have one monitor and as this card is not crossfire compatible I was wondering if I could run one now and then in the future increase this to two of the same or an different card I don't play many graphics intensive games but am planning something like Dota 2 and some video editing.

To sum up can I have 2 graphics cards running on 1 screen without crossfire and is this the best solution for a quiet moderate gamer with occasional video editing?

no, they must be connected physically for crossfire/sli . Otherwise, the otherone sit idle until another monitor is connected, but still 1 card per 1 monitor

that's what your reference site says, and i found a few others who reference that single solitary card as having that feature (no telling if it needs PCI-E 3.0 or a specific chipset), but being new to me, i'd defer to someone with actual experience
