Setting Up SLI
SLI
and PhysX are NVIDIA
®
motherboards. SLI
is a means of dividing the graphical load between multiple video
®
cards, similar to how dual- or quad-channel memory works, or even how RAID0 works.
However, the software (e.g. game) must support SLI
PhysX is an NVIDIA

the NVIDIA
Control Panel and dedicate the CPU or a GPU to this function manually.

SLI
requires two or more video cards that support SLI
®
(GTX 1080, GTX 480, etc.); have the same memory type (GDDR5, GDDR5X, etc.),
volume (3GB, 8GB, etc.), and datapath width (128bit, 256bit, 384bit, etc.). SLI
requires a motherboard that supports SLI
each card in SLI
. If the above conditions are met, compatible graphics cards with
®
different GPU and/or memory clock speeds will not prevent SLI from being enabled.
Note: For questions and concerns regarding NVidia Surround ™ and full setup instructions,
please see

requirements. The possible combinations of setups between SLI, monitors, and cabling
are far too vast to label in this manual, so please visit

walkthrough.
Installation:
1. Physically install your graphics cards, then install an SLI
Flexible bridge (included with this motherboard), an EVGA Pro Bridge, or an EVGA
HB Bridge. Current NVIDIA
through GTX 1080 Ti and Titan XP cards. Driver support is determined by NVIDIA
please check GeForce.com to confirm compatibility with drivers and SLI.
Once the graphics cards are physically installed, connect an SLI
