You can install two video cards in a motherboard that has two 16x Graphic card slots available. If they are SLI or Crossfire compatible, they will work together and both total up your graphics memory. If you have graphics cards that are different, most likely one will be disabled or they could have drivers issues. It really depends, you could just put it in and try.

∙ 12y agoYes, but your video card has to have this feature. On board video cards will not do this, unless it was customized. I recommend Nvidia if your trying to work with two monitors. Keep in mind that adding a second monitor doubles the amount of resources your graphics card should have in order to function at 100%. Each extra display uses roughly about 1GB of graphics memory and the average graphics card only has 2GB. The Ideal situation would be to have 1GB for each display and an extra 1GB to process all the highest details for your fullscreen application.
Did you know?: A Graphics card only supports a maximum of two monitors unless it has extra DisplayPorts and you must have an active passive display adapter in order for the extra ports to work (however they don't work in BIOS).

If they will physically fit, then yes you can. How much good this will actually do depends on the specifics of the cards in question. Some cards can be "combined" to give a higher graphics processing power; some cards cannot, and having two cards will simply allow you to run two monitors. In some cases, adding a second card might even result in one of the cards being disabled.
