How NVIDIA®SLI
TM
(Scalable Link Interface) technology works:
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 or above PCI-E x16 slots and
correct chipset driver
 A two-way SLI bridge connector
In an SLI configuration, two SLI-ready graphics cards of the same model and
the same manufacturers are connected together via SLI bridge connector in a
system that provides two or above PCI Express x16 slots to scale graphics
performance. The picture below shows that two graphics cards are linked in
parallel in an SLI configuration.
