Hardware Setup
NVIDIA Hybrid SLI Technology
Hybrid SLI technology, based on NVIDIA’s industry-leading SLI technology, delivers
multi-GPU benefits when an NVIDIA mainboard GPU is combined with an NVIDIA
discrete GPU.
Enabling Hybrid SLI Technology
Power off the system and install the NVIDIA SLI graphic card that supports Hybrid SLI
technology. After then, power on the system and install the “NVIDIA hSLI Driver”
which supports Windows Vista only. Restart the system and wait for the Hybrid
Icon to show in the system tray. The hybrid icon indicates that the system is in
Performance mode and that GeForce Boost is enabled. The chipset will share the
rendering load with the graphic card and boost the performance of the graphic card.
Click on the Hybrid Icon in the System tray can select the Hybird mode. The Hybrid
modes are listed below.
Hybrid-Performance Mode - The hybrid mode where the discrete GPU (dGPU)
and mainboard GPU (mGPU) are simultaneously active and working collaboratively to
provide higher performance (GeForce Boost)
Hybrid-Power Mode - The hybrid mode where the dGPU completely shut off and
mGPU renders and drives the display (HybridPower).
Important
1. Please note that although you have installed the graphics card in the PCI
Express slot, only the onboard video outputs (which be embedded in back
panel of mainboard) will work. Hence, you only need to connect a monitor
to the onboard video output.
2. Be sure to set [Internal] in “Primary Graphic’s Adapter” of Advanced
BIOS Features in BIOS.
3. We suggest that you have to select 256MB or higher for “VGA Share
Memory Size” in BIOS.
