Disabling Hybrid SLI
Traditional dGPU Mode
The Hybrid SLI feature can be disabled if desired by settings the appropriate Hybrid
SLI switches in the System BIOS settings. The system can be put into the traditional
operating mode where the discrete GPU performs all the graphics processing and
drives the display. The motherboard GPU will be disabled in this mode. To disable
Hybrid SLI and put the system in the traditional dGPU based operating mode, the fol-
lowing switches in the System BIOS settings must be set to the corresponding values
given below. Go into the system BIOS and go to
Advanced
Chipset
to ensure that
the following settings are set to the values given:
q
Hybrid Enable: ............................Disabled
This disables hybrid functionality in the BIOS.
q
Onboard or mGPU Enable:...........Disabled
When Hybrid is disabled, the Onboard GPU is automatically disabled.
q
Preferred or Primary Boot GPU:..dGPU
This sets the primary display adapter. This is automatically set to dGPU when
Hybrid is disabled.
q
mGPU Frame Buffer Control:.......Manual
q
mGPU Frame Buffer Size:............0 MB
The Frame Buffer size must be set to the lowest possible value when the Onboard/
mGPU is disabled.
