Two graphics cards?
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
I have a nvidia geforce gt 610 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite...
and a Radeon Hd 6570 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite...
i have a 600 watt psu and I have been reading that graphics cards dont draw as much power as they say they do. i was wondering if i could put both graphics cards in my pc at the same time with out power problems?
My build
ASUS 970 AM3+
AMD FX-6300 Processor 3.6 gh 6 cores
8gb ram

Easily. Though, they do draw as much power as they say. As said here, GT 610 draws up to 29 watts:

And HD 6570 draws up to 44 watts. So yea, your power supply unit will be able to cope with it without any problems.

No, it wouldn't.In order to increase performance with Crossfire / SLI, they have to be the same card... even being made by the same designer would be a start.
Of course you can't make an Nvidia and an AMD card play nicely with each other.
ok thanks! i had the nvidia left over from a recent computer and my new mobo supports two graphics cards so i thought why not?
