Extend Your Buying Cycle and Save Money with NVIDIA® SLI™ Technology
iCafe owners want to offer their customers the best possible experience to keep them coming back, but need to manage total cost of ownership (TCO) in order to be successful. By equipping their centers with NVIDIA SLI-Ready PCs, they can do both.
Typically, iCafes are driven to a 20-month buying cycle because their users want to play on the latest hardware. By simply purchasing a certified SLI-Ready NVIDIA nForce® media and communications processor (MCP)-based motherboard, featuring two PCI Express graphics slots, owners can extend the replacement cycle to 40 months, lowering TCO costs by over 30%, while still delivering their users a technology boost after 20 months.
By standardizing all iCafe PCs on NVIDIA nForce SLI-Ready motherboards (available for both AMD and Intel CPUs), iCafe owners can save money, upgrade less-often, and still maintain the performance edge their customers crave!
Use this flash-based tool to find out how SLI technology can extend your buying cycle and save your iCafe money.
Here's how the flexibility of an SLI-Ready motherboard can save you money:
For the budget minded:
Purchase an SLI-Ready motherboard featuring an NVIDIA nForce® SLI MCP for all of the PCs in your iCafe. Buy a single NVIDIA-based graphics card for all PCs at this time. At the mid-life of the PC, move the graphics cards from half of the PCs to the other half of the PCs in your iCafe, creating SLI PCs powered by two graphics cards. At the same time, purchase new-generation graphics cards and install them in the other half of the PCs.
For the value minded:
Equip all PCs with an SLI-Ready motherboard and a single graphics card. Add a second graphics card to all PCs at the mid-life cycle for a significant performance boost.
For the performance minded:
Configure all PCs with an SLI-Ready motherboard and two graphics cards for maximum performance right from the start.
