can i use two different graphics cards?

Yes, this can technically work—both cards will give you graphical output. However, different cards cannot be linked together to function as a GPU array (CrossFire or SLI), so you generally won't be able to use them together to render graphics in games. The cards will operate independently of each other.

A single video card that supports a dual-monitor setup can handle running two screens at the same time: it is not necessary to have two video cards to run two monitors on one computer. Video cards that have two monitor connection ports typically support dual-monitor setups.

Yes, a Nvidia GPU will work with an AMD mother board. The thing to look for though is to make sure that both are compatible with each other, meaning that they share the same connection ports. Most mother boards for gaming have a PCI Express x16, as either 3.0 or 2.0.

Dear Dual, Using two (or more) video cards in tandem—known as "SLI" for NVIDIA cards and "Crossfire" for AMD cards—can get you better performance, sometimes even for less money than you'd spend on a comparable single card solution. However, whether it's worth it is another story. Here's what you need to know.

Look up your motherboard on google and search "(motherboard model) enable dual graphics bios". If your bios is set to only run off the GPU, then plugging into your MB wont use your iGPU. You have to make sure the BIOS is set to run both GPU and iGPU, then you should just have to plug into your MB instead of your GPU.

Yes. Graphic card memory and system memory have nothing to do with each other. You can use a GDDR5 graphics card on a motherboard that accepts only DDR3 system memory.

As long as the motherboard in question has a PCIe slot, (preferably one running in PCIe 3.0 x16 mode to get the most out of your graphics card) then you can run any modern graphics card no problem, regardless of the type of VRAM. Most modern graphics cards will either use GDDR5, GDDR5X, GDDR6, or HBM2.

You need two gpus of the same model to SLI. With amd some gpus can crossfire with other models. But since you have Nvidia already, no, they can't.

As mentioned before, you can use any PCIe x16 graphics cards on your H97-chipset motherboard. You can use the likes of a GTX 1050 2GB, a GTX 1050 Ti (4GB), a GTX 1060 3GB, a GTX 1060 6GB, a GTX 1070 8GB, a GTX 1080 8GB, a GTX 1080 Ti (11GB), etc.

Typically they will all be PCI Express, but for a graphics card you need a PCI Express x16 slot. There are three versions of this slot, but they're backwards compatible, so a modern PCI Express 3.0 graphics card will work in a motherboard with a PCI Express x16 2.0 slot.

You can use a USB to DVI graphics adapter. Which is really just a basic low end GPU. If your laptop also has an HDMI port. I'd use an HDMI to DVI cable for the second monitor.
