Can you use 2 different types of RAM at the same time?
There’s a prevailing misconception you cannot use different RAM sizes together or that you cannot mix RAM brands. The answer is Yes, you can mix RAM sticks and RAM sizes and even different RAM speeds—but mixing and matching RAM modules isn’t the best for system performance.
Can you use 2 different graphics cards in the same PC?
Yep, having two completely different GPUs in one PC is possible, as long as there are enough PCI slots. However, if you are planning to use SLI, it requires two of the same cards. Furthermore, you should remember not all applications take advantage of the dual GPU setup.
Can I use two different ram sticks in a PC?
You can use two different RAM sticks as long as their timings and clock speed match… RAM timings are something like 7–7–7–18 and clock speed is in Mhz (like 1066, 1333, 2200Mhz). If these two specifications of the sticks don’t match then, expect some serious BSODs.
Can I use two RAM cards at the same time?
RAM timings are something like 7–7–7–18 and clock speed is in Mhz (like 1066, 1333, 2200Mhz). If these two specifications of the sticks don’t match then, expect some serious BSODs. You can use two different Graphics Cards but it will be beneficial only if the two cards are ‘working together’.
Is it possible to use two different graphics cards in one computer?
If you want to use two different graphics card s in one computer. Then it’s possible. But ONLY to provide additional graphical outputs to your monitors or assigning separate tasks to each card. Two different graphics cards will NOT operate in tandem to increase frame rate performance. If you’re a gamer wanting to increase frame rate performance.
Can you mix RAM sizes on a PC?
If you do mix RAM sizes, you should use them together. For example, you can use one RAM stick that is 3GB and another that is 6 GB. When you are in Flex Mode (or dual-channel mode), the RAM will perform like two 3GB RAM sticks in order to optimize performance.
