will i really need two of these to play games on my pc? is it a waste of my money?

That depends of your budget and your visual and performance tastes on playing. For a wide middle-range gaming experience, a single one is more than enough.

Depending on what quality you want with your game. I'm just using one 780 and it plays bf4 on ultra just fine. Unless u want to do 4K maybe you will need 2 of those.

You certainly can. Remember it is always better to go with one graphics card over two so you might want to look at just one 780ti instead for the time being then maybe down the road adding a second one when they become less expensive. You'll save money now and get even better performance later.

It will only work in 1x no matter what. You will have a bad gaming experience due to the bottleneck. With that said it is good enough to run a second monitor for a 2d desktop. But in my experience only 2 out of 3 of my motherboards will even recognize the video card on the express extension. And all my boards are Asus

Yes. As long as you have good enough power supply, and can find one of these cards for a reasonable price. I love the card but for the money of buying two... you might be better off buying a slightly newer/more powerful card. It would be a lot more efficient, probably cheaper and definitely quieter. Then again, if you already have one card, then go for it!

I'm pretty sure that would depend on your video card, if it supports dual output or not. If I misunderstood your question, then I have no idea.

You will need two of them .Also if you opt for the twin controller they will work together.

It uses CrossfireX, and you won't need any connector piece for it. Nowadays its handled purely by software. Just select "enable crossfirex" and you're running both your cards!

You need PCI-E for this. If you only have PCI or AGP then it's most likely too old for gaming anyway as your CPU won't cope

I mean, it would run with two 780's... but the secondary PCIe slot is not a full speed slot, plus this board is from the GTX 600 series / AMD HD7000 series era so I'm inclined to say no. It would work, but your second 780 wouldn't see its full potential on only an 8X/4X slot. If you're going to spend that much money for two 780's, I'd get a board that is specifially designed for crossfiring high-end cards, where both PCIe bays can reach full 16X speed. This isn't what I'd call a high-end board.

If the card is integrated into the motherboard, then you don't need a separate one. But be aware that integrated video cards take away some of your main memory for their own use.

Depends on what games you want to play. Some games don't need it at all, some are smoother with it, and some won't run without it.

For a full tower might require two. I use two for my full and one for my mid-tower.

The short, honest answer here is that I really do not know. Given some of the problems that I have experienced with this card, though, I suspect that using two of these in one machine would lead to frustration.

As far as I know its for 1 PC for the lifetime of THAT PC - I wouldn't try to burn it or use it on more than 1 PC - its worked very well so far and I personally feel that its a very good deal.

It has two. I mostly play two player games with this and it works flawlessly.

Hi, This card will support two monitors simultaneously, as stated in the manual. Given that, I don't really see why you would want to drive one monitor from the card and one from the motherboard - using system RAM rather than dedicated graphics RAM. However, if the latter is what you wanted to do, I can't think why that would not work. But, it's a great card at a bargain price so why not drive two monitors from it?

I can tell you this, and it might not directly answer your question:the powersupply is not designed to be very powerful, it was made to save on power costs. It is also non-standard, so you need to take that into account.ALSO,It has 2 displayports, out of the box. although I haven't tried hooking up 2 at the same time... so you may just need one additional card
