Can this be configured with a second card if I want to beef up my graphics down the road?

You can't, this card doesn't support sli but for a budget card it works for what its meant to do.

No SLi *but* you are free to run as many cards as you have slots. This will give you more real estate. The card has commendable Phys-x abilities, but you could dedicate another card to Phys-x. Mind your addressable memory on 32 bit Systems though.

Yes I can utilize the graphics that the new processors have built in. Should be some video outputs on the board. This is sufficient for everything but gaming or more than 2 monitors.

This should work fine, yeah. Your board supports ATI Crossfire (I'm not sure about nVidia SLI) so if you ever want to go multi-card, you might not be able to do so with this board. If you're going to stick with single card, though, this should be fine.

No it does not support a second video card. You can only swapp a HDD/SSD for an ODD.

From what i understand you need 2 identical cards to run SLI you can not run 2 different cards. sorry mate, but you might be able to run the second card for physics.i would do more research to find out.

Yeah, you should be able to crossfire it with a different manufacturer's card as long as it's a 7970. The clock/memory speeds will be set to the same for both cards, but it should work fine.

You can do either. But this card requires both available power adapters so take note that power consumption will be high with this card and higher running both

It varies on what else you have installed. like if this will be your only graphics card, then it should be enough, but only barely.

You would have to see if there is a free PCIe slot first. Since the card is not large it is possible.

You can only do SLi if the cards are both the same and basically look at it like this. If you do SLi you are basically doubling what one card can do. SLi will not work if the cards are different.

Yes, you can. It has supported two monitors. There are vga, dvi, and hdmi ports on the card.

Yes, but remember each will get a piece of the processing power from the GPU. It is better to run a video card for the these purposes. You can get a decent mid range card for under a hundred bucks. Another consideration is that unless you lower the resolution on HDMI and DVI to that of VGA, your resolution will be inconsistent. This is very annoying when trying to work with multiple screens.

Considering that on average, while running newer games on Ultra settings, I'm only using a total of around 330 watts, I would say it'll probably work. On the other hand, there's literally no reason to use two of these in SLI; even with just one I can run any new game on the highest possible settings in every area and still get 60+FPS. The second card won't do anything.

Yes. You have one PCI Express slot, according to the specifications for your computer I found online.

You would need identical cards to do that. You can do two Radeon 7950's from different vendors possibly (Like MSI and Sapphire), but not different model number cards. You especially cannot mix your ATI graphics with the Nvidia graphics card.

Yea but it must be with another of the same card. And why would you buy two of these? Most games can't even benefit from sli and a 770 is cheaper and will give you better performance for all non cuda applications.

No, you would need something more like the Corsair RM850 to sufficiently power this dual GPU card.
