Hi guys

A few years ago I bought a tower with an "Asus X99-A/USB3.1 Intel X99 (Socket 2011) DDR4 ATX" motherboard and one "MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card - Red".

I always had in mind that as soon as I was ready to go VR, I'd stick another 960 in there and we'd be good to go - but having not taken a look inside the case I'm not sure if it's possible. There are free PCI slots but I don't know if they can take this graphics card, and I don't know if I'll have enough power connections.

Can anyone take a quick look at the specs and let me know what you think? Also any tips on installation would be great. I've never had a tower with two graphics cards in it before so really have no idea what I'm doing!

Thanks all. :)
 
Thanks for the quick responses guys. The processor is an Intel i7-5930K 3.50GHz (Haswell-E) Socket LGA2011-V3 and if it can support a second card I think I'd be inclined to do that timply because it's pretty cost effective.

I'm not familiar with the issues with SLI. Are they so bad that it's preferable to get a card without SLI if supporting VR is my ultimate goal for this machine?
 
Damn! That's pretty convincing... and what a disapointment!
Looks like I'll be heading off to find a new, compatile graphics card.

Thanks for the pointers, really appreciate them.
