Hybrid SLI™
Hybrid SLI™ technology is a unique hybrid multi-GPU technology built upon
NVIDIA. Hybrid SLI technology today includes two primary features: GeForce
Boost and HybridPower™. GeForece Boost turbo-charges performance of NVIDIA
discrete graphics cards when combined with motherboard GPUs. HybridPower™
unleashes graphics performance when needed and enables low-power operation
when performance is not needed. You can switch from the discrete GeForce
GPU(s) to the motherboard GPU for a quiet, low power PC experience.
NVIDIA ® 3-Way SLI™ (Scalable Link Interface)
NVIDIA 3-Way SLI™ (Scalable Link Interface) takes advantage of the increased
bandwidth of the PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture and features intelligent
hardware and software that allows three GPUs to efficiently work together to
deliver earth-shattering, scalable performance. For some applications nearly triple
performance! See Chapter 6 for details.
HDMI/DVI support
HDMI (High�Definition Multimedia Interface) is a set of digital video standards that
delivers multi-channel audio and uncompressed digital video through a single
cable for full HD 1080p visuals. Supporting HDCP copy protection such as HD
DVD and Blu-ray Discs, HDMI provides you with the highest-quality home theater
experience.
With the bundled HDMI to DVI adapter, this motherboard also supports DVI output.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) provides high quality visuals for digital display devices
like LCD monitors. The interface of this motherboard supports dual VGA outputs
for both HDMI/DVI and RGB. See page 2-28 for details.
