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-N295-18I-B/GV-N295-18I-B rev 2.0 for SLI configuration;
-
An SLI bridge connector
(Note 1) SLI technology requires a PCI Express motherboard with two/three x16 physical connectors.
Graphics cards working in an SLI configuration must be with the same model name (e.g.
GV-N295-18I-B/GV-N295-18I-B rev 2.0) and from the same vendor (e.g. GIGABYTE
TECHNOLOGY).
(Note 2) The minimum system power requirement recommended here is based on a PC configured
with an Intel Core i7 3.2 GHz processor.
