    Hi Guys!

    I need help regarding the question asked in the title. I have an Asus RoG G551V gaming laptop with a GeForce 960m 4GB video card inside. In addition I've got a GeForce GTS 450 1GB card in my possession. Is there any chance that I could connect this older card to my laptop to boost the graphic performance a little bit? Could these two cards work together?

    edit: I wanted to put graphics card in the title, not vga. Sorry if this caused any confusion.

    no.
    no hybrid type SLI like AMD's poor implementation of Crossfire years ago. It resulted in sh1ttier performance than once card alone.

    Oh I see. It's bad that they don't communicate well with each other.
