Can you have two video cards in the same computer?

I was wondering right now i have a ATI Radeon series 9550 card and just got a new comp with a ATI Radeon™ X1200. I heard that the x1200 is not very good and its the low end of graphics stuff so i wanted to put my other 9550 card in the computer as well, i was wondering if thats possible?

No. You will need to take out one and replace it with the other.
Reply:You would have to disable one of them in device manager.





Unless you have the Crossfire setup, that connects two Crossfire video cards to one monitor.

Reply:You can have two of the exact same running.
Reply:You can have two video cards running, but they have to be of the same type, SLI capable, with a SLI capable board as well.
Reply:To be honest, both the 9550 and the x1200 are quite low end. However, the x1200 is considered even below the "low-end" mark and is in most cases not even being advertised as a worthwhile card for the current generation of games and demanding applications. Also, neither card is ATI Crossfire compatible, which is the technology that enables two video cards to be used simultaneously. Even if they were, the difference between the cards in terms of power is too great to make it worth your while. All in all, the answer is no. You cannot add the 9550 to your computer as well - although you MAY be able to replace the x1200 with the 9550, which would probably be a slight improvement.
