Configuration
If you are planning on using this graphics card as part of an SLI system, the following
are required:
-
An SLI certified motherboard with two/three PCIe x16 slots and correct chipset driver
-
Two GV-N275SO-18I/GV-N26SO-896I for SLI configuration;
Three GV-N275SO-18I/GV-N26SO-896I for 3-way SLI configuration
-
A power supply with 900-watt or above is recommended
-
An SLI bridge connector or 3-way SLI bridge connector
(Note)
SLI technology requires a PCI Express motherboard with two x16 physical connectors. Graphics cards working in an
SLI configuration must be with the same model name (e.g. GV-N275SO-18I/GV-N26SO-896I) and from the same vendor
(e.g. GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY).
