So I slapped a 1050ti in with my 1080ti to dual GPU

[Kornstalx]

Just a heads up for anyone else trying this combo: the 1050ti couldn't do fixed FG at 1440p better than the 1080ti doing both the rendering and the FG, alone. It was actually a net loss of about ~10fps. Could be that both cards are at 8x Gen3 PCIE, but I doubt it.

Anyway just leaving this here for anyone else thinking about raiding old PCs for parts.
You're gonna need something beefier than that for dual GPU.

Are you trying to use the 1050Ti for just Frame Generation while using the 1080Ti for Regular rendering? Is this actually a feature? Hmm interesting, like putting all those iGPU from Intel CPU's or AMD APU's to use instead of just doing nothing.

You would need modern strong FP16 instruction set GPU for that not ols slow 1050Ti

The 1050ti is still quite capable for 1080/1440p framegen, check out the Capability Chart (link above your post).

i tried this in 2023 with a evga 760 sc. not worth tempting with.
games dont benefit. you can game on the 1050 but thats all it would be good for adding it. i have done that aready and there isnt any improvment sadly. unless you can make it run properly as 1 gpu it isnt worth it. and there is no software capable of exsactly doing that.. at least i dont know of one till now.

Yep, that chart is the only reason I attempted it. Whomever made that chart listed the 1050ti as ~100fps FG @1440. That was scarily accurate -- on my rig (6700k, 1080ti) the extra 1050ti was exactly capable of 100-110 fps. This was a true MAXIMUM too, because just sitting at a static menu or watching an intro movie was capped to this amount. That card simply isn't capable of doing the work (at that resolution) any faster.

I was hoping to squeeze a little more out with the 1050 but unless your FG is already under 100 with your main single card, the extra card is actually going to drag you down.

Try it with 60-75% flow scale, 75% is recommended for 1440p.
