NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600, 5500, 4600, 4500, 4400, 3500, 3450, 3400, 1500, 1400, 560, 550, 540 and 350 cards are SLI enabled and can work in an SLI configured multi-GPU system. Two identical cards are required for SLI Frame Rendering and SLI FSAA .

You can expect that most graphics cards will fit into a PCI Express (commonly referred to as PCIe) slot, and will require one or two power cables to be plugged in using either 6-pin or 8-pin connectors. This build will feature two reference PNY GeForce GTX 780 graphics cards in SLI.

Further, NVIDIA SLI-Ready components are backed by a rigorous testing and certification process to deliver an entire certified platform solution, ensuring unmatched system stability and platform compatibility.

Hope this helps, post back with any more questions. p.s. In most modern 3-way sli mobos, slot 3 is the center slot, and slot 2 is the bottom slot. Hope this clears any confusion. my mobo is definately top slot: PCIEx16_1 middle slot: PCIEx16_2 bottom slot: PCIEx8_1 I wanted to know if they can run in PCIEx16_1 and PCIEx8_1.

Advanced PCBs and thermal design provides double the airflow of a traditional graphics card configuration. A 3D Vapor Chamber with integrated heat pipes and active fins further increases thermal performance. ‌ The result is the highest-performance …

6 Install a second GeForce GTX 970 graphic card (2-way SLI): a) Install the second GeForce card into the outer most PCI Express x16 slot on the motherboard. b) Connect the two GeForce GTX 970 cards together using the dual SLI bridge connector that came with your SLI-ready motherboard. 7 Install a third GeForce GTX 970 graphic card (3-way SLI):

NVIDIA ® NVLink ™ is the world's first high-speed GPU interconnect offering a significantly faster alternative for multi-GPU systems than traditional PCIe-based solutions.

When the SLI switch is 'off' and a full 16 lanes are devoted to the top PCIe x16 slot for one video card, both the x1 and x4 slots each use a single lane of PCI Express bandwidth, while the second PCIe x16 slot gets the last two lanes. When SLI is enabled, the two PCIe x16 slots get 8 lanes each, the x1 slot between them is disabled and the top ...

As the Gainward has a backplate i decided to make that the top card and move the original MSI card to the bottom slot purely for aesthetic reasons. (therefore all display cables are coming out of the top Gainward card now) However from what i can tell in MSI afterburner, most games use GPU 2 as the primary card maxing out at 98-100% usage ...
