Appendix A. Configuring an SLI Configuration

Appendix A.

Configuring an SLI Configuration

NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface) is a revolutionary technology that allows

two NVIDIA SLI graphics cards to work together to deliver incredible 3D graphics
performance.

Your new motherboard can support up to three PCI Express graphics cards linked

using SLI. Currently 3-way NVIDIA SLI is approved and operating on the following
graphics cards:

NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra

SLI Connector

NVIDIA 3-way SLI platform will also require a new SLI connector that connects the SLI

headers on the GeForce GPUs (Figure 17).
