How do you add an additional video card to a system with its only pci express slot and pci slot already occupied??



I have a HP a6152n desktop. I have a vid card in the pci express slot and a wifi card in the pci slot right now. I'm trying to add a second video card so I can have a tri-monitor setup!!|||This might answer your prayers, o power user.|||In order to add a second video card to your computer you'll have to have a motherboard certified for ATI Crossfire or Nvidia SLI (It Depends on the type of video card you have).



Your motherboard is not compatible with those two choices because it doesn't have two pci express slots. If you are looking to do this for gaming, most modern video cards use pci express so you probably won't find any SLI or CrossFire compatible with normal PCI slots.|||you really can't unless you have a sly hookup somewhere there. sly or sli...forgot how its spelled. You may need to replace your motherboard. There might be some splitting techniques, so you can use something liek a s-video port as part of the tri-monitor port or whatever.|||I think you can even with SLI technology. You have to buy a new motherboard which will support multiple of video cards.
