Ok so, i have 2 gt 730 fermi ddr3 2gb versions on my mobo which supports crossfire (asrock b365m pro4f) and 1 of the cards doesnt overclock while the other does but if i use that gpu seperately it actually overclocks. The heck is happening?
oh my bad, its just i searched on google on websites and stuff and it said that you can work nvidia cards with crossfireif the mobo supports it, well other than that even if it doesnt work is there a way to overclock the second card and like get a tiny little boost or like the pc detects it and acts like it doesnt exist at all in terms of performance?Crossfire is for AMD GPUs. SLI for Nvidia. GT 730 does not support SLI.
Then you should remove one of the GT 730s. It serves no purpose otherwise. It just produces heat and consumes electricity.i only connect one of them to my display, i have only 1 display
and if i want 2 screens is it better to use 2 gpus and each gpu for one screen or 1 gpu for 2?Then you should remove one of the GT 730s. It serves no purpose otherwise. It just produces heat and consumes electricity.
In your case, there is not much to be gained by having two GPUs installed. A GT 730 can serve more than one display.and if i want 2 screens is it better to use 2 gpus and each gpu for one screen or 1 gpu for 2?
ok i checked the box of the gpu and it says it supports multi gpu, but the multi gpu option is missing from the nvidia control panelThen you should remove one of the GT 730s. It serves no purpose otherwise. It just produces heat and consumes electricity.
ok i understand that part but im still thinking why did they say that on the box and what does it mean like how?The issue is that the GT730 is not capable of SLI.

Not an issue of the motherboard, but the GPU itself.
Actually the OP's motherboard doesn't support SLI either, just Crossfire.The issue is that the GT730 is not capable of SLI.

True.Actually the OP's motherboard doesn't support SLI either, just Crossfire.
well in this case is there any solution or the second gpu was a waste of money? And is it worth to risk and useTrue.

well i cant because i bought it used, if i could id get them backThe latter. If you can still return it, I would. What it comes down to it is that you chose a poor solution that doesn't even work with the GPU or the motherboard. Get that money back into your pocket if you can.
You should be able to sell to someone else. Or, keep as a spare.well i cant because i bought it used, if i could id get them back
i have an asrock b365m pro4f with an i3 8100, 12gb ram, 500gb hdd, 120gb ssd and aqproc 500W psu. i play games like the forest bf4 cod mw1 remastered minecraft but with shaders, moto gp. Many gamesEven if you could get the two GT730s to work together, you won't see a massive game in performance. You are always better served by a single, faster GPU.
Many games/apps fail to perform better with SLI/CF.
What games/apps are you playing? Also, what are the specs for the rest of your system?
well ill sell the older one but cheaper and it will be harder because its original fan stopped working and didnt work plus when it did it didnt spin well and it was for the trash so i got a fan from a psu connected the cables from fan to the gpu mobo and its a custom one which works quite well but still it look sketchyYou should be able to sell to someone else. Or, keep as a spare.
oh i know that, its just the economy on my country is trash and apart from that covid made things way worse and its very hard to afford a gpu while making barely 200 a month. Also now that regular gpu's like the rx 570, 580 cost more than 220, is it worth to buy an rx 560 2gb by red dragon with 70 euros?Pick up a GTX 1050/1060/1650/1660/2050/2060 and see a massive leap in GPU performance. Way faster than two GT730s (if it was even possible) could conceivably be.
well ok thank you for your help, you helped me a lot.The RX 560 would be faster than the GT730, but it is still a relative low-end performer.
You should just stick with the single GT730 until you can afford something better.
You are very welcome. Stay safe and healthy!well ok thank you for your help, you helped me a lot.
