So I have three old GPU's and one is GTX 650 2GB and another is a 650TI 2GB, and I only have one computer to use them with. Could I use both for mining? If so could the two also mine with a GTX 260, or do I have to get new computers to utilize all three GPU's? Do I need SLI to mine with two cards, or does SLI not matter with mining? Thanks.

You should be able to use multiple GPUs of different types without issue, I've heard even different brands work fine together.

Yes, but Nvidia are really bad, you'd be best selling them on eBay and buying AMD instead.

Thanks for the feed back. Will look into getting better cards but for now I want to try just using them for fun. You are right by the way. My GTX 780TI gets about 500-550kh/s with dogecoin, and a r9 270x I think gets about 450kh/s. The only difference is the 780 is $700 and the 270 if it is the 270 is only about $200. Or maybe I stink at research.

Yes cause they are all from nvidia, but nvidia don't mine efficiency..
