NV 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 on PCI Express x16 slots. W ith two cards installed, an
SLI bridge card is required to connect the atop golden fingers 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

graphics cards are of the same brand and specifications.

connector (or to the power connection on the graphics card) to ensure
stable operation of the graphics card.
