Multiple GTX GeForce 1050 Ti's(?)

[Atomicdonut17]

So, soon I'm gonna be building a budget PC using an MSI B250 chipset mobo, (cheapo board) with two PCIe slots. I will, as well, be implementing a GTX 1050 Ti (not the snub length one, the dual TORX fan one). I know this particular GPU draws power from the mobo itself, and doesn't require a 6/8-pin connector from the PSU. My question is, can I drop two of these motherhubbers in the board and expect it to run fine? I don't know the particular rate of power intake for this, or any, motherboard, so I don't know if it consumes a regulated amount or if it adjust according to its needs. And, I don't even know if this card is supportable for two (Cross-firing, I believe? Call me a noob, idk) Thanks for the help!

Those cards do not support SLI, nor does the motherboard.

If you want more graphics horsepower, you will need a single better card.

Nvidia cards uses SLI. B250 does not allow SLI, and neither 1050 Ti does. So no gain from getting 2 of those. But as long as your PSU is powerful enough, you COULD put 2 of those.

2 1050Tis @ 139 = 278

1 RX 480 8GB - 220

They cannot be SLI'd but: Always go for the best single card you can afford even if you need a new PSU.

Awh. Well, thanks! I suppose later on I'll upgrade to a 1070 or something of the sort (granted I make more money, lol) So I suppose even with a card (such as the 1060 and up) it wouldn't work to put multiple of them on a B250 chipset mobo? Lol, sorry for being so stupid :-;

Not stupid, you had a good question and now you've learned, and we've had an opportunity to share.
