To get a "double portion" of the power of a video card, it is necessary to take into account all the subtleties of working with them, otherwise the desired result will not be obtained, and the second card in the system will be just a side element. And for a personal computer user who is determined to complete this task, it will be a failure.

Step 1
If you are faced with such a situation as a lack of video memory in the latest in the gaming industry, then two video cards will add horsepower to your computer. This is the main reason for buying two graphics cards. Among other reasons, the idea of being better than your neighbor who has only one graphics card may slip through.
Step 2
The two cards can be connected using a special adapter, which can be purchased from a specialized store. The adapter connects both video cards, and the image is transmitted to the screen using a cable that connects to this adapter. Dual video cards can be used for other purposes: connect a computer monitor to one card, and connect a TV or a second monitor to the other. This way of using two video adapters is called Second Video Output.
Step 3
To connect two video cards, you need to check their connection type. An important condition for these boards to work together will be the same connection types. The best option is PCI cards. If the cards differ, then we will not get the desired effect. They will work, but we will not notice a tangible increase. It should be noted that when installing two video cards of different power, do not forget that a more powerful card must be connected to the first slot. When connecting two video adapters of the same brand, take advantage of an innovation from Nvidia - SLI technology.
