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
c able.
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 Video Link cable 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.
