Whats the point of two video cards?

[KCRMYZ]

I'm sorry if this in the wrong spot, move it if it is.

What is the point of two video cards in a computer. Can you combine the memory? Is it better than one.

Thanks all help is appreciated.

multiple monitors comes to mind.

Yes, if you are running more than two monitors, you would need multiple video cards.

Or, if you're gaming on a big LCD monitor with a huge resolution. Such as 1920 x 1200 or 2560 x 1600.

Or, if you're looking to break from 3DMark records.

or if you want to be a jerk and make your friends jealous.

You only need one if it has dual output.

Because people what to have a computer set up just like what they had in Swordfish.

Actaully, some people need their desktop real estate. At work, I use 2 monitor. However there are days (especially when i am working on work's website) where I wish I had 3 monitors.

If you want best 3dmark score then you need 2 of the best graphic card..
Or multiple monitors.
But not whole lot of a point to use multiple cards.
