Can I add a second video card to my mac

Post by apanacci »

Hey guys I just replaced my video card in my 2009 Mac with an original Gforce 120 because it was not working properly. I have 2 monitors hooked up to it. I bought it at a computer store after I also bought one on eBay. I screwed up and the eBay one has just shipped and I dont think I can cancel the order. Can I add the second Gforce 120 to my computer? I also have 2 USB monitors hooked up and wondering if I could hook up the USB monitors to the second video card. Can anyone help, thanks !

Two GT120s should co-exist nicely.
