Dual Nividia GeForce 9400 GT cards Help

[Eric4753]

I wanted to speed my pc up a little and i was thinking of putting a second card graphics card (of the exact same model) Nividia GeForce 9400 GT. WOuld this kinda speed my pc up a little? Does the second card have to nividia brand? and is there a better cheaper dual set of video cards that around 50 - 60?

A second video card will not speedup your pc. Can you list your system specs?

 

[Eric4753]

not even little on games? because its kinda getting out dated?

 

[johnb35]

System specs please. What games are you trying to run? Would need games and your system specs.

Then I wouldn't advise spending any money on this machine then. Just wait until February.

The only game you should be having issues is with GTA 4. Have you done any system maintenance?

 

[Eric4753]

yes i have and the company of heroes blitzkrieg mod wants me to have a video card with 2gb of speed not 1gb.. so i figured adding a second card then letting them work together would help the game. What would? how about the geforce 9800 Gx2?

You are better off just saving your money and replace your power supply and get a decent video card. You will need 200-250 bucks.

Providing your case is big enough to hold that card.

It shouldn't be saying this. I ran Blitzkrieg with my 768MB GTX 260, 1GB HD 5770 and 1GB GTX 560Ti

 

[Eric4753]

yes did you run infantry HD and ground Hd and settings max? and the duel wont even help a little?

 

[Eric4753]

so then what we be the point of people having dual video cards?

To improve performance. However the cards you're talking about are old and outdated and wouldn't be very powerful.

Id be pretty surprised if your 9400 GT has a SLI connector,I believe there's a few like the Galaxy 9400 and Asus, also done a model with a SLI connector...but honestly the 9400GT isn't meant for gaming.

I agree with what the other guys say,save up..get better PSU and gpu.
