Blah101 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I am currently running two 460s, they work fine, I don't know about the acceleration yet, I haven't run tests. I have two questions. 1. When I go to system profiler, both are recognized, but one shows with the full 1024 MB of RAM, and the other reads as 1 MB of RAM. Why is this? Does this mean the second card will not perform as well? 2. In terms of gaming, how will I know if I am getting acceleration from both cards, or only one? I want to be utilizing both if possible. I currently have an SLI bridge connected, but I doubt that does anything of use on OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 OS X does not support SLI and games will not use both video cards at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blah101 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Ok, so really at this point, the only reason to have two graphics cards is for a multi monitor setup I guess. I guess I will stick to gaming in windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 That's right, unless you can use the extra GPU power for CUDA calculations (Photoshop plugins, video encoding and that kind of thing). Nvidia video cards can only drive two displays at a time on OS X, even those with more than two outputs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
