NVidia Sli on a Crossfire motherboard

[gladosportal21]

I'm a bit new to this sli and crossfire stuff, but I want to buy a used and cheap gtx 960, besides my current one. But my Gigabyte H170-HD3 motherboard only supports Crossfire. I'm not sure if sli would work. My CPU is a 6400 i5 with 16 gigabytes of RAM. I also didn't do any bios updates yet, but I will do it if it's required.

No it wont. You need a SLI compatible motherboard to use SLI*




*There are "hacks" like DifferentSLI/HyperSLI which mean you can use SLI on non SLI compatible motherboards, but it can be potentially unstable and its not supported.

So I'm better of selling that 960 and just buying a 1060 or 1070?

Thats right.
