Graphics Card:
This motherboard is capable of using the NVIDIA SLI
TM
technology. To utilize this
technology requires two SLI-capable graphics cards of the same make and model, for
example two of the BFG NVIDIA GeForce
® 
8800 GTX OC
TM
768MB PCIe. When ordering
a graphics card, be sure it is a PCI Express card. The kit does contain the SLI
connector used to connect the two graphics cards.
See Installing Graphics Cards in an
SLI Configuration located on the CD in the .pdf entitled “Using the NVIDIA Software”.
• PCI Express Compliant Power Supply:
The power supply requirement is dependent upon the power and the number of the
GPUs you install. If you are going to SLI two graphics cards, you are going to require
more power. As a rule, for one GPU you need a minimum of a 300W power supply. If
you have two GPUs in an SLI configuration, you will need a minimum of a 500W power
supply. To calculate the power you are going to require for your specific configuration,
go to www.slizone.com.
These instructions tell you how to install each of the parts listed so you can have a
functioning motherboard. As you go through the installation instructions, it is assumed
that the necessary parts have been purchased.
