 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-N480UD-15I/GV-N470UD-13I/GV-N470OC-13I  for SLI configuration;
Three GV-N480UD-15I/GV-N470UD-13I/GV-N470OC-13I 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 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-N480UD-15I/GV-N470UD-13I/GV-N470OC-13I) and from the same vendor (e.g.
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY).
