No. You can’t just put any graphics card in any motherboard because the motherboard has to be compatible with the graphics card. You see, graphics card are getting more and more powerful which requires the graphics card to have a better and more secure connection with the motherboard.
Can I use 2 different Nvidia 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.
Can you run 2 graphics cards without SLI?
Yes, you can run dual non-SLI or crossfire graphics cards. They don’t even have to be both Nvidia or both AMD to work. You can even run both integrated graphics and a discreet graphics card together in a non-SLI or non-Crossfire configuration. What you CAN’T do is use them BOTH for gaming.
Does B450 support 2 GPU?
Asrock B450 Steel Legend supports AMD XFire, meaning you can link multiple identical gpu models(2x RX 580s, for example) for extra performance – but this performance gain varies widely.

Repeat the process to install the second video card. Connect power to either or both of the cards if they have separate power connectors.
Can you put more than 2 GPU on the motherboard?
So, yes you cannot put more than more 2 GPU on the motherboard. But you can attach 6 GPU to the motherboard. How can you attach more GPU? For that you need RISERS. You can attach the GPU to the RISER and it will go the motherboard. Here is a quick pic that I took of my rig (Pretty Dusty) – Pic1 Can you see that Blue cards going to the motherboard??
