The 3-way SLI platform uses the NVIDIA ForceWare Windows Vista driver. To install the driver, run the setup.exe file to launch thee InstallShield. The InstallShield runs three installs, one for each GPU. Reboot your PC when the install is complete.

After reboot, the Windows Vista Device Manager shows three GPUs under Display adapters (Figure 18).
