nightcleaver Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I have two video cards. They are PCI; note, they are not PCI-E, so (I don't think?) there's anything like SLI to support them working in tandem. Is there someway to have them both work together, though, even if for a minor performance gain? I hate having one sit around. They are both Nvidia; 5700 LE and 5200 Ultra.

jaguars4ever Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Sadly, they both have to be PCI-E and they both have to be the same card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finger of Death Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 The PCI one is most useful,if you like flash video card's BIOS the PCI one can help you when you fail,or sale it. By the way,I can't buy any PCI video card in my hometown.

nightcleaver Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 Sadly, they both have to be PCI-E and they both have to be the same card. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> To work with one display, or to work with SLI? and what is Flash video card's BIOS? Help me when I fail? Fail what? I'm willing to sell one of the PCI cards for fairly cheap, if that's what your LAST sentence meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finger of Death Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I have a R9550 video card,R9550 is low frequence of R9600,if you need more frequence,you can update BIOS to R9600 or R9600pro,but sometime you will fail,if you fail,you video card can't use,so you need a PCI one to reflash to R9550. My English is very poor,can you understand?

adrich81 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 No there's nothing you can do to get pci cards running in tandem. I assume you don't have agp on that motherboard, or I'd have said flog both of them and get an agp card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightcleaver Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 Ah, no. I'm afraid I might end up selling them for 50 bucks each, in the end, once I get a new computer. I understand, finger of death, thank you for clarifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
