Using NVIDIA Scalable Link Interface (SLI)
The resulting SLI modes are listed in Table 9.1 .
See the next sections for detailed steps on using these modes.
SLI Frame Rendering
To use SLI frame rendering, perform the following steps:
1 Enable SLI multi-GPU rendering
a
Open the Performance & Quality Settings page.
b From the Active profile list, select Global driver settings.
c
From the Global driver settings View list, select Advanced settings .
d From the Global driver settings list box, select SLI rendering and then choose
SLI multi-GPU rendering .
e
Click Apply .
2
Choose the frame rendering mode.
SFR typically benefits pixel-shader or texture-intensive operations, whereas AFR
benefits geometry-intensive operations.
•
To select AFR, select 3D App-Modeling AFR from the Active profile list, then
click Apply .
• To select SFR, select 3D App-Visual Simulation from the Active profile list,
then click Apply .
This profile is also useful for non-SLI configurations, since it optimizes the
driver for texture- and shader-intensive operations.
