NVIDIA SLI Technology
®
NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface) technology allows two GPUs to run in tandem
®
within a system to achieve up to twice the performance of a single graphics card. To
utilize this technology, the two GPU cards must be connected by an SLI Video Link
card.
If you intend to use the SLI mode for better graphics performance, please refer to the
following instructions.
1. Install two graphics cards into the PCI_E2 & PCI_E5 slots. With two cards installed,
an SLI Video Link Card is required to connect the golden fingers on the top of
these two graphics cards (refer to the picture below). Please note that although you
have installed two graphics cards, only the video outputs on the first card will work.
Hence, you only need to connect a monitor to the first PCI Express card.
Important
The photos shown in this section are for demonstration only. The appearance of your
•
mainboard may vary depending on the model you purchase.
• If you intend to install TWO x16 graphics cards, make sure that these two graphics
cards are of the same brand and specifications.
• Make sure that you connect an adequate power supply to the JPWR4 connector
(or to the power connector on the graphics card) to ensure stable operation of the
graphics card.
