ASUS Crosshair II Formula 6-9
6.2 NVIDIA
®
Hybrid SLI
®
Technology
The motherboard supports the NVIDIA
®
Hybrid SLI
®
technology that includes two includes two
primary features: GeForce
®
Boost and HybridPower™. GeForce
®
Boost enhances
the performance of NVIDIA discrete Graphics Process Units (dGPU) when they
work with the onboard motherboard GPU (mGPU). HybridPower™ unleashes the
graphics performance of the dGPU and enables low-power operation when the
performance of the dGPU is not needed. You can switch from the dGPU(s) to the
mGPU for a quiet, power-saving computer environment.
• Hybrid SLI technology is supported by Windows
®
Vista™ only.
• GeForce Boost supports up to two displays simultaneously (both connected
to either the mGPU or the dGPU).
• When two or more displays are connected to both the mGPU and the
dGPU, the Hybrid SLI mode is disabled and the multi-display mode is
enabled. In the multi-display mode, up to four displays can be connected
(two displays driven by the mGPU and two displays by the dGPU).
• HybridPower requires displays to be connected to the mGPU. HybridPower
cannot be enabled when displays are driven through the dGPU.
• HybridPower and GeForce Boost are supported by certain set of dGPUs.
