I just built a computer with i7-4770k and z87-pro motherboard. I planned on using integrated graphics as this is mainly a work computer that I use for business as well as programming. I also do some video editing work to create sports video highlights.

A friend just gave me two 5770 graphics cards. I was going to install them crossfire but thought I would check to see if it is even worth it given that they are old cards.

Can anyone let me know what the better solution is?

Thanks for the help!
 
Solution
On second thought, are you planning to play games? If not, stick with the integrated graphics, it's good enough and it consumes less electricity.

Also, you need a PSU rated at least 550W for those two cards.


USE THE CARDS!!
Even if he doesnt game, it's good to know he can😛
