Can I Install two GT 210 cards in my PC ?

[Sneakywolf]

I want to extend my display up to three monitors by purchasing a GT 210 card, but I came to know that GT 210 supports up to 2 displays only ? My question is can I install two card on my mother board to extend display up-to 3 or 4 monitors ? Is it possible to have more then one graphic card on a single motherboard ? Will it work fine?

If its possible then it would give me the advantage to attach two VGA LCD monitors and the third one could be a DVI monitor ?
I just want to extend display to monitor financial charts (No high graphics needed )
I did a little search on Google where people are talking about SLI and Crossfire where both cards work in tandem. My purpose is just to extend display so if both cards are giving solo output, it won't be a problem.

NOTE: One more thing to mention here is that i am bound to use a low-profile graphics card because of tiny chassis.

It is possible to have more than one graphics card on a motherboard, but the motherboard has to support it, and you need a SLI bridge basically. However i dont believe you can get three inputs going using a SLI setup, as it is a master and slave card relationship. you would have to disable SLI.

More modern graphics cards supports more monitors typically

Still, check if your motherbaord supports it. you're looking for a second 8x or 16x PCI-E slot on the motherboard

Yeah assuming you motherboard has two slots that are capable (full length pci-e slots but can be wired as x4/x8/x16), then yes you can just fine.

You dont need to support SLI to simple add additional cards for more displays.

OP mentioned SLI in his post. if he wants SLI, he needs sli support and two 8x PCI-E slots (Nvidia REQUIRES 8x per card minimum), so i just wanted to inform him based on everything he asked

Nothing in his post requires SLI.

i didnt say he required SLI... i was just filling in info about SLI since he said he mentioned it. i also clearly said "However i dont believe you can get three inputs going using a SLI setup" for his setup. I dont get your point, i was just filling him in on info haha

Your talk of SLI just confuses matters and isnt required for his purposes. Just clearing it up so he doesnt think he needs a SLI motherboard or anything. Regardless, im pretty sure the 210 doesnt support SLI anyway.
