This motherboard supports the operation of one PCI Express x16 graphics card or two SLI-ready PCI
Express x16 graphics cards that comply with PCI Express x16 specifications.

By the default “

Normal

” mode, this motherboard is set for one single graphics card operation. The

“

PCIEXP1

” slot functions as PCI Express x16, while as “

PCIEXP2

” functions as PCI Express x1.

To operate two graphics cards on this motherboard, you will have to set the SLI switchboard to “
