Question Can I run my RTX 2070 and my GTX 1050 at the same time but not in SLI?

So basically I was wondering if I could install my old GTX 1050 in my second PCI-e slot. I was wondering if I could use it to display on a monitor that has DVI since my RTX 2070 only has Display Port and HDMI. So is it possible to install a GTX 1050 and my RTX 2070 at the same time?

My specs:

• I7-7700
• MSI Z270 SLI Plus
• 12gb RAM
• Asus ROG Strix RTX 2070 O8G
• Corsair CX650M PSU

You can, but there really isn't a point. A DP or HDMI to DVI adapter doesn't cost much and will allow you to use an older monitor. That 1050 is going to cost more than that after a year of use.

Makes a lot of sense! Thanks!
