MSI(Nvidia) GeForce GTX 970 still capable

This graphic card is still can handle any games!
For $50 used on EBay can’t beat it.

I have two of them but I only use one. How do I install and run both of them. My dell T7500 have plenty slots to install both but how to how to use them both with one monitor?

Can you tell me how because my 2070super cant lol. Youll need an SLI bridge assuming everything else is ready to roll

not sure what your smoking but that isn't true.

Most games need a high amount of vram now.

It was a good card in it's day but it is not valid anymore if you want to play anything new.

$50 vs $1,000 can’t beat that!

The 970 supports the old SLI (scalable link interface). To use it, you have two cards in nearby PCI-E X16 slots, and connect the two cards using a bridge cable. You should be able to get one of those on eBay. Be sure to get the right one.

SLI is essentially dead. nVidia doesn't offer it on newer GPUs.

It increases the available GPU computing power for gaming. What it doesn't do is increase available VRAM. The same textures are written to both cards, so the available VRAM is effectively that of a single card.

(Historical note: SLI was originally developed by the late, lamented 3dfx. 3dfx made 3D accelerator cards. For them, it meant scan line interleaving. Each card generated half the scan lines. nVidia bought the name when 3dfx folded, but they don't use similar tech.)

A few years ago, I got a check from nVidia as part of the class action settlement regarding VRAM of the 970. It was advertised as a 4GB card. It was essentially a 3.5GB card, though. (I wouldn't have sued over that, personally.)
