SLI
SLI, or Scalable Link Interface, refers to a GPU system developed by Nvidia that allows two or more video cards to be linked together under one output. This parallel processing is intended to increase graphic processor power and performance, up to 2.8x with three linked GPUs, according to Nvidia. A PC must have an SLI compatible motherboard and one SLI-ready graphics card to support linking an additional card and increasing performance. Graphics cards used in SLI systems can either split graphics processing 50/50 to increase speed, or alternate even and odd frames to the same effect, or produce two slightly different images that are then combined to form a clearer picture.
