SLI for NVIDIA Quadro: Installation Guide

This document provides the information necessary to successfully install and configure your SLI-

capable graphics boards and system. You may also review the full Installation Guide for

additional information. Topics covered in this document include:

• NVIDIA SLI technology

• Motherboard and power supply requirements

• SLI hardware setup and configuration

• Display driver installation and enabling SLI

• SLI questions and answers

NVIDIA SLI Technology

NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface) technology allows users to install and benefit from two PCI

Express (PCIe) graphics boards in a single PC. Just as dual processors or dual core CPUs

improve compute performance, SLI allows dual GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) to significantly

accelerate graphics performance. Professional users benefit by using SLI technology on dual

NVIDIA Quadro GPUs to span an OpenGL window across multiple displays, or to run a single

application per GPU. Additionally, the SLI connector offers dual GPU performance on a single

display by leveraging the capabilities of two NVIDIA Quadro GPUs.

SLI for NVIDIA Quadro – Definitions

SLI Frame Rendering: Combines two PCI Express graphics boards with an SLI connector to

transparently scale application performance on a single display by presenting them as a single

graphics card to the operating system.

Benefits:

- Visual simulation, broadcast, and video applications that are fill rate-limited will benefit from

using the split frame rendering (SFR) mode.

- SPECviewperf® and other applications that are geometry-limited will benefit from using the

alternate frame rendering (AFR) mode.

Requirements:

- Two identical NVIDIA Quadro FX boards (4400, 3400, 1400)

- SLI connector

SLI Multi View: Combines the power of two NVIDIA Quadro PCI Express graphics boards to span

a single hardware-accelerated OpenGL application window across multiple displays, run a single

application per GPU with multiple display outputs, or enable other flexible usage of two PCI

Express graphics boards.

Benefits:

- View professional applications over multiple displays to increase visual real estate.

- Run a single application per GPU to offload geometry processing to a second GPU.
