Speed up video playback on a PC or improve the quality of video images are often wanted not only by gamers who need good playback to complete quests, but also by users. For example, those who store children's and family videos on their home computer create small clips, etc.
Many people want to improve video performance on their own computer by installing two video cards, but this process is not easy and can lead to the most unpredictable consequences, which you may not have to regret, but the performance may not be what you expected.
Two video cards
The reason why they put two cards is simple, either people do not have enough power for their favorite video games, or there is not enough graphical abundance provided by the manufacturer of the same video applications, or maybe even that Vova's neighbor envied the super image without knowing what you have two video cards inside.
So you've decided to bet yourself two cards. To do this, in any computer store, buy an adapter for installing two video cards, correctly insert them into your computer and, if your motherboard is not against this union, then you enjoy the miracle of graphics. But, there are situations when both cards start to quarrel with each other, often the reason for this is a systemic conflict between two different manufacturers. Don't be discouraged, you just need to pick the right combination for yourself, but then you will get the desired result.
Two monitors
If you just want to display the image on two monitors, then you simply do not need another video card. Most manufacturers offer a second video output by default, and there is simply no need to buy a second card.
But back to the beginning: there is a reason why you may have problems installing a second video card, in the case when your motherboard is not equipped with the appropriate slots. For example AGP i PCI-express, if it is one, then you will not be able to install two cards of the same type. The way out of this situation would be to use PCI and a leading AGP video card. because all you get from a PCI card is just its size.
Also, when installing two cards, you should check their connection type, it is very important that it is the same. It is best to use two PCI cards, if they are different then we will not get the desired result. Of course, they will work, but not in the way you would like it to. And remember that a more powerful video card should be connected to the first slot, and the weaker one to the second. Finally, we note that Nvidia has developed the SLI technology that allows you to connect two cards of the same brand.
