    Is it possible to SLI linking the GeForce GTX 550 Ti and GeForce GTS 450

    Guys I need help on this . I have this GeForce graphic card for a long time now , I have GeForce GTS 450 and I am thinking of upgrade, and my option is the GeForce GTX 550 Ti0. That is one good graphic has excellent price and good performance . I have two monitor and trying to add one more , so in case I get the GeForce GTX 550 Ti will I able to connect the 3 monitors, like on e with the GeForce GTS 450 and other two with the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. Is it possible to work with the SLI linking the GeForce GTX 550 Ti and GeForce GTS 450. In case that don’t work , am I able to keep the two graphic card in the computer without major issues. As I have seen there are lot of bug report with people using SLI. Or what will be my best bet purchase another GTS450 or just keep the GTX550. Is there any one here can help me on this I will be really appreciating this

    Like to tell you that the sill is compatible only with the 2 similar graphics cards, thus the thing that you looking for here is not possible you cannot SLI a 450 and 550 together. But you can install both the card on the computer and still able to do that you said Connect 2 monitor to 1 card, and another monitor to the other, that way you will be getting total 3 active display

    Thanks really appreciate this reply will I have done my on reach as well and the best bet that I can see at the moment is to keep the GeForce GTS 450 and put a GeForce GTX 550 Ti as the main graphic card , in that way I be able to work with the three monitor and still get good power from the GeForce GTX 550 Ti for the games. Thanks again

    That is absolutely correct and that is ecatly the thing that I would do although like to tell you that keep in mind that if you wish to work 3 monitor together while gaming , then you have to have SLI for the 2D surround.

    May be thanks for that but I will not play that game that much so the one monitor will be more than enough. I work with the 3D so 3 monitor will be astonishing for me , I will be using on monitor for the viewport other monitor for the textures/tools. That is the plan , although having the third one I can add another application like the adobe Photoshop or a viewport only for textures then I I do not have to minimize the windows and all
