Pleas help me with graphic cards.

[jakob.urana]

Hello.
I have intel i5 6400 and i want the best graphic card for this cpu. I was looking for gtx 1050ti.
But i have one graphic card installed in computer ( nvida quadro p600) and I want to have 2 graphic cards in computer beacuse quadro is not good for games. Can i have 2 graphic cards in one computer? Which graphic card would you take with i5 6400?
Thanks for answers

In games

Okey, but is not my cpu too weak for this graphic card?
Can I have gtx 1060 and quadro p600 in one computer?

1: No. Just stick to one video card. It will be enough.
2: Your motherboard MUST support dual cards (not all boards have this)
3: To run dual video cards, they must be the same. (2 x 1060, 2 x RX 580...ect)
4: GTX 1060 cost more than the RX 580.
5: List of games per Tom's Hardware review:

Ashes of the Singularity = TIE
Battlefield 1 = RX 580
Civilization VI = GTX 1060
Doom = RX 580
Grand Theft Auto V = GTX 1060
Hitman = RX 580
Metro: Last Light = TIE
Rise of the Tomb Raider = RX 580
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands = GTX 1060
Tom Clancy’s The Division = RX 580
The Witcher 3 = RX 580

RX 580 = 5 wins, 2 ties
GTX 1060 = 3 wins, 2 ties

Also, check the prices in your country. The GTX 1060 may cost alot more.

So you would go with RX 580?

Jakob, when you quote a post, please try to put your reply in the same message. I just went and fixed this thread by editing your quote posts and adding your new info. It should be in the same post, not a second post.

You can have two GPU’s in a machine. You would need cards that can operate in what’s called SLI (Nvidia) or Crossfire (AMD). Your motherboard would need to support this feature as well.

Incorrect. Cards can run independently. The only issue I know of is Windows Vista which can only load one GPU driver. You can run two or more cards, but they have to use the same driver. Back in the win98 days I ran an Nvidia and ATI card in the same machine. It is very possible. You only need to worry about CF/SLI support if you want them to work together. To just work it doesn't matter.

what oc means?

OC means Over Clocked. It's a short hand term that means clocked faster than the official spec calls for. If a 1060 is supposed to be clocked at 1GHz, and you have one clocked at 1.2GHz, then you have an "OC" 1060.

which would you choose: 1. Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 WINDFORCE OC 6G
or 2. ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Dual-Fan

Going just from the names, the 1060 windforce OC would be faster. The Asus is a standard model. The reality is both will perform very close to each other. I'd get whichever is cheaper.

Is not gtx 1060 too much my cpu?

Borderline. For the most part it's a good pairing. I wouldn't go much higher than a 1060 though.

 

[mgallo848]

So you would go with RX 580?

I own both cards:

A RX 580 and a GTX 1060. They are BOTH very good cards. Nothing wrong with either one. The RX 580 is slightly faster (not by much). The biggest difference is the price. The GTX 1060 usually costs alot more. Check the prices in your country.

I would also take the time to read the review from Tom's Hardware.

Thanks for advice and for explaning.
okey, so i will probably go with Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 WINDFORCE OC 6G or with RX 580.

Can I go with Rx 580, beacuse i have intel cpu. rx 580 is AMD. This is probably stupid question, but i really don´t know if i can go with rx 580.

 

[4745454b]

They would be fine with each other. People run AMD CPUs and Nvidia video cards all the time. As long as it fits in the slot you should be ok.

Is that RX 580 good?

[mgallo848]

Sapphire makes excellent cards. Usually very high quality.

My opinion:

Sapphire: Best AMD for quality
EVGA: Best for Nvidia quality

But i have intel cpu. Can i go with AMD graphic card. will it work thogether?
Or is beter to go with Nvida.( what aboute Gigabyte quality)

Yes they work together no problem. It doesn't matter if you have Intel or AMD cpu.

Gigabyte cards are good also.

Great.
Why are then motherboards for AMD cpus and motherboards for Intel CPUs?

 

[mgallo848]

That's something completely different. AMD and Intel CPU's have different pin layouts so they require specific motherboards for that.

For video cards it doesn't matter. You can use Nvidia or AMD cards with either CPU system you have.

For example:
My RX 580 is running on my Intel i7 system.
