► Hybrid Support
Hybrid SLI Support is based on NVIDIA's industry-leading SLI technology, delivers multi-GPU
benefits when an NVIDIA ® motherboard GPU is combined with an NVIDIA discrete GPU.
Hybrid SLI increases graphics performance with GeForce ®Boost and provides intelligent
power management with Hybrid Power™. When the display card supports Hybrid SLI
technology and the system memory size is 2GB or above, this option is supported. You can
select [Auto] to let the system control, or select [Manual] to configure the Frame Buffer Size
manually.
You can ignore this setting if this option is not supported due to memory size is small or CPU is
not AM2+ or display card does not support Hybrid SLI technology.
► Display Detection
When Hybrid SLI feature is turned on, it means you already have two graphics GPUs installed.
You must decide which one is the primary adapter, and this option will automatically select the
one with display monitor attached as the primary graphics adapter.
If both two graphics ports are connected to monitors, then you must use one more option "Init
Display First" to select.
If none of the monitor is connected, then the "Init Display First" setting defines which one is the
primary.
► iGPU Frame Buffer Control
This item is used to control the "Frame Buffer Size" setting. Select [Auto], BIOS will
automatically reserve some of the system memory as video memory. Select [Manual], you can
set the size of video memory manually.
► Frame Buffer Size
Allocates system memory for use as video memory to ensure the most efficient use of
available resources for maximum 2D/3D graphics performance.
This is a memory allocation method addition to the Unified Memory Architecture (UMA)
concept, wherein a static amount of page-locked graphics memory is allocated during driver
initialization. This fixed amount of memory will provide the user with a guaranteed graphics
memory at all times, and will no longer be available to the OS.
► OnBoard GPU
This item is used to set whether to enable the onboard GPU (Graphic Processor Unit) in
