SLI Installation (optional)
On some EVGA graphics cards, it is possible to link multiple graphics cards up for improved performance, this is
called SLI. To install multiple cards in SLI, follow the below instructions, please note that in SLI setups both cards
must be the same model. For a video overview of setting up SLI, please visit

Software Installation
When you boot up your computer for the first time after installing your new graphics card, Windows may detect a
new display device and attempt to install the drivers. If it gives you the option to cancel, please do so, otherwise
wait for Windows to complete the installation (a reboot may be necessary).
After this process has been completed, it is necessary to install the recommended drivers for your graphics card.
To begin, insert the EVGA Installation DVD/CD and allow the autorun driver installation menu to start.
Install your first GeForce graphics card
into the Primary PCI Express x16 slot.
The above SLI bridges are included with your SLI ready motherboard depending on the configurations that it supports. In order for your
SLI setup to work properly you would need to use the appropriate bridge based on the number of cards you are connecting.
2-way SLI
2-way SLI: Install your second GeForce
graphics card in to the outer PCI Express
x16 slot. Connect the two cards together
using the 2-way SLI bridge connector that
came with your SLI-ready motherboard.
3-way SLI
3-way SLI: Install the third GeForce card into
the middle or secondary PCI Express
slot on the motherboard. Connect the
GeForce cards together using the 3-way
SLI bridge connector that came with your
SLI-ready motherboard.
4-way SLI
