Question Using together a GTX650 DDR3 and a GTX1050Ti DDR5 in my ASUS B450-F?

[francoteves]

Hello friends,

I'm planning to buy the GTX1050Ti or GTX1060 (haven't decided yet) and I currently have an old GTX650 (DDR3 1GB). Would it be of any benefit keeping both cards running together or should I sell the old one? I mostly use Unity, Blender, Adobe Suite, Corel Painter, and once in a while I play Skyrim and Final Fantasy XV.

Thanks.

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X

GeForce GTX 650

You would be best off ditching the 650

I would appreciate if you could tell me the reasons or forward me to a place where I can learn about...

It wouldnt really serve any purpose other than drawing more power and producing more heat.
Even if you could find an application that would benefit from having a secondary weaker card, it would not benefit much.
Additionally, you would likely run into more issues trying to run two vastly different cards than any good.
