Can an Asus Essentio Desktop support two graphics cards at once?

This is the computer I have- [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

If It can what two would you guys recommend?

If it can't which single graphics card do you recommend?

Keep it in the middle of $50 to $100.

You could run two nVidia cards in SLI mode but I don't think your motherboard will support SLI because it isnt a gaming PC. You should just get a new a new PC if you want to Game.

Ahah....it can't support a single card without major tweaking, two is completely out of the question. For one, it's pre-built...meaning it essentially has the absolute bare bottom parts [made in China PSU and Foxconn boards]. To make it short, no. You'd also need a new vase for adequate cooling and factor in bottlenecks.

I don't have the money to just go and buy a $800 dollar customized "Gaming" PC.

Give me a list on what to do to this one to make it work.

To answer your question, Yes your computer can have another graphic card put inside it.You have 2x PCI and 1 PCI x16 slot.Now on a side note.I don't think you can SLI or crossfire two different types of graphics cards.I could be wrong seeing as I've never encountered a situation where I've wanted to SLI two different types of graphic cards.Lastly as someone said, your motherboard might not support SLI or CROSSFIRE configuration.
