Hybrid SLI
®
Technology
The NVIDIA
®
Hybrid SLI
®
technology includes two primary features: GeForce
®
Boost
and HybridPower™. GeForce
®
Boost enables the NVIDIA
®
discrete Graphics Process
Unit (dGPU) to work with the NVIDIA
®
motherboard Graphics Process Unit (mGPU) to
increase the dGPU’s performance. HybridPower™ enables low-power operation when the
performance of the dGPU is not required. You can switch off the dGPU for a quiet, power-
saving computer environment.
