Hey everyone! I've got a Tuf Gaming B550M-Plus Wifi mobo with an AMD R7 5800X CPU and 16GB of RAM (8x2 3600MHz). Currently, I'm using an RTX 2060 for my remote work focused on image editing and playing League of Legends. Recently, I got an RTX 3050 from a friend for free. I tried using it, but I noticed a significant drop in performance compared to my 2060, especially during gaming where I experienced lag and frame drops. My mobo has two PCIe 16 slots, but I'm wondering if I can run both GPUs simultaneously. I don't want to sell the 3050 or build a new PC, and I know I need a bigger case to fit both cards. What do you all think?

Unfortunately, you can't really use both cards together for gaming. SLI is pretty much a thing of the past, and even if it weren't, you'd need to have two identical cards, like two 2060s or two 3050s. The 2060 is slightly more powerful than the 3050 anyway, so you might just want to stick with what you’ve got.
