NVIDIA® SLI® with CUDA™
The best gaming platform in the world just got better. The newest generation of SLI® technology enables new NVIDIA® CUDA™ applications like NVIDIA® PhysX™, and adds multi-monitor support for maximum display flexibility. Surround yourself with amazing graphics, breathtaking physical effects, and accelerate your most performance hungry applications.
CUDA-enabled applications enhance the SLI experience
Use the NVIDIA control panel to take complete control over your PhysX configuration. Use one card for graphics and dedicate a different card for PhysX processing for game-changing physical effects. Or, use 2 or 3 identical graphics cards to do both SLI and PhysX to experience maximum, heart-stopping realism.
NVIDIA® GeForce® configurations for PhysX™ PhysX™ supported GPUs: NVIDIA® GeForce® 8-series, 9-series, and 200-series GPUs with a minimum of 256MB dedicated graphics memory
3-way SLI
SLI graphics rendering + PhysX acceleration
2-way SLI
SLI graphics rendering + PhysX acceleration
Multi-Card New
Card 1: Graphics rendering Card 2: Dedicated to PhysX acceleration Graphics card 2 is not required to have the same GPU as graphics card 1
Now with CUDA, you can go beyond gaming to unlock the power of hundreds of cores in your GPU to accelerate video transcoding with badaboom™ and run applications like Folding@home.
SLI provides the performance to meet the demands of even the most intense games. Take your pick of a pulse-racing game like Far Cry 2 or Crysis Warhead - The way it’s meant to be played™.
