Hi TPU

Today i have installed a 3rd system:

CPU: AMD x9750 2.4
MB: K10N78FullHD-hSLI R3.0
RAM: 8GB ---> 4 stick
GPU: GTX275
HDD: 500GB
PSU: ZU-550W

After looking around Asrock website I found that motherboard support NVIDIA GeForce8 Series

I was wondering:
1- Is that possible to make 2x GPU works together ( GTX275 + Ge-force 8 Series )that mean PCI-E and on-board GPU?
2- Do you think that will improve FPS?


also, i am not willing to open new thread but do you think i am good with that PSU, as I read GTX 275 need 40 amps?!



Thank you very much
god bless

Not sure if you will get FPS boost, but with Hybrid SLI, I think you have to connect your monitor to onboard and when discrete is not in use it will turn it off. Will help in idle power consumption.

I might be wrong, other experts might be able to better explain.

Hybrid SLI was discontinued years ago. It only ever worked with a small number of nVIDIA cards, anyway.
