Ok im not good at tech, but here it goes! what are the benifits of putting two graphics card or cpu cards in p

really do you get the best of both worlds? like if i put two graphics cards or gpu's in a pc, instead of 500mhz will i 1000mhz?


like i said before im not good with tech and im learning so bear with me.

If you're talking about the real processor not multi core, of course you will get double if supposed you put 2x 500 MHz. It also applies to the graphics card. But the question of how good is really depends on definition how good is good! It depends on your needs. What i can say is you must pay more to do this.
Reply:in theory you do get double the speed, but in reality you don't because most programs aren't written to recognise dual videocards, however dual cpu cores is common now, and so new programs are beginning to recognize it, but not quad core is not





so you can get double the speeds (or quad) if the program will use the hardware
Reply:I have two video cards. It's known as SLI (Google it). Is it worth it? For me it is, but I play igh end PC games and place huge demands on my computer. For the average user, dual video cards would be a waste of money. A fast processor running high end RAM on a Vista machine will produce the desired results for those that seek a state-of-the-art PC far general use.
Reply:Graphics cards are confusing, the speed and ram have little to do with performance, the model number and architecture have everything to do with it. For instance, a fx5500 running at 400mhz with 256mb of ram is less than 1/10th the power of a x1600 with the same numbers. Its all because of better architecture.


Here is one of the best sources of benchmarks, you can compare almost every card made in the last 5-7 years and more:
