SLI Multi GPU Configuration & Battery Power
Note that due to the high power and system demands cre-
ated by enabling SLI Configuration,
you should not en-
able SLI configuration if your computer is powered
by battery only
. If you attempt to run an SLI configura-
tion when the computer is powered by the battery only,
then system problems may occur.
• If the computer is currently powered by battery only
do not
enable SLI configuration
.
• If you have currently enabled SLI configuration, and the
computer is powered by the AC/DC adapter,
do not switch
to battery power only
(or go to the
NVIDIA Control
Panel
and disable SLI configuration before switching to
battery power only).
