Can I use 2 different graphics card with 2 monitors ?

[Liam Nguyen]

Hello everyone.
Now my PC is using 2 monitors, one is connect to the 970 and one to my onboard card. When I play battlefield 4 on one monitor and one I open battlelog map I feel a little bit lag so I want to buy one more 750 Ti to run my second one.
I wonder if I can do that and when I play games on both monitor how will those card load ?
Thanks guys.

Why don't you connect the second monitor to the GTX 970?
It won't affect your graphics performance.

I tried but it got more lag than connect to the onboard card so I think I need one more to run the second one.

if you have an intel processor you can run a monitor off the HD built in, is that what you tried?

Yes you can run multiple cards simultaneously. It works no differently than what you are doing with the 970/igpu now except instead of using cpu/system ram resources, you'll be using the secondary gpu resources, which should cut down on any lag. Of course since it's a 970 + 750ti, sli is not possible and the cards will by necessity remain totally separate

Yes that's what I said in #1

So I think that SLI is for the one who want to run multiple gpu in 1 monitor right ? Because I heard that SLI don't use 100% resources of second and above GPU so if they want to use 1-1 gpu-monitor they must use it without SLI bridge to get the best performance.
