I have a 5 year old PC. Would like to get a nice graphic card. Have a PCI express x 16. Problem is I want a very efficient card. Preferiably 2gb or so. I'd like fast memory like ddr5 on it. My PC has ddr2. >:^(-) Just paid over 600 bucks for it like a year ago at walmart. I think I shoulda just built a PC for that price. This thing might have been worth that intially when it came out in 07. Anyways, also was wondering, I have 1 PCI express x 16 slot, and I think 2 regular PCI and 1 PCI express x1 slot. Could I get a pcie x1 card and a pcie x16 card and would they be able to combine theyre performance!? 5 points to the first helpful one! cheers!|||PCIe x16 2.0 is backwards compatible. No, you cannot combine performance of two completely different video cards.|||to answer your question,, only sli compatable graphics cards are capable of combing its power...
Mixing 2 gpu's is likely to cause your registry to corrupt causing a total loss of you OS stabability it has happens to me before ... only current generation high end motherboards are SLI compatable...
If you want true performance video wise look into a tesla GPU and its appropriate board using over a 100 times more power than anything else of its kind...
Theres no need for 2gb n a
a 2 gb graphics gpu is not going to work in a 5 year old pc,, unless the motherboard is able to read more than one gb per allocated slot on the board,, if your running a 64 bit version of windows there shouldnt be much problem,,, and thats only if your power supply unit can sustain the increase in electricity...
but to run a 2 gb gpu on a 32 bit OS you would prolly have to only use 1 gb of ram on the board seeing as 32 bit only allocates a little over 3 gb of ram,, including the dedicated ram on a gpu,,, using a 2 gb gpu and 1 gb of ram is a rediculous concept simular to putting a jet engine in a smart car and expect it to stop on a dime....
Buy a new computer, or a gpu about 512 mb seeing as 512 mb 5 years ago was almost the best you could have
