SLI technology is not a new concept. The first line of SLI products were produced by a video card company named 3dfx. SLI was first used in arcade game consoles and other professional markets. 3dfx then released a consumer version of SLI in 1998 with their Voodoo2 video card line, which was called “Scan Line Interleave” at the time. nVidia then reintroduced the basic concept on the PCI Express bus, while ATi still continues to tweak their version of a linked video card system named “CrossFire”. Many gamers who have always used ATi products are debating whether to bite the bullet and go for nVidia’s SLI, or play the waiting game and sit tight for the final release of ATi CrossFire.
SLI® technology, based on NVIDIA’s industry-leading SLI technology, delivers multi-GPU (graphics processing unit) benefits when an NVIDIA® motherboard GPU is combined with an NVIDIA discrete GPU. Hybrid SLI increases graphics performance with GeForce® Boost and provides intelligent power management with HybridPower™.
