Hi, I was wondering if my motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3 supports two Nvidia GPUs.

I'm not looking for sli (would be used for mining) thank you in advance for helping.

The other card would be a gtx 1060 and the other one a gtx 1070

For mining it only needs a 1x connection. You aren't pushing a wide bandwidth job like graphics rendering, just forcing the GPU to do lots of calculations. So a small input, lots of calculation, and small outputs.

So it would be fine? My plan is to eventually sell the GTX 1060 pnce I've mined a bit with it. The board has only 1 pcie 16 slot so I wasn't really sure if the other pcie 8 slot would be enough for the 1060
