2 . 5 Hybrid SLITM Operation Guide

This motherboard supports NVIDIA® Hybrid SLITM feature. Hybrid SLITM technology, based on NVIDIA®’ s industry-leading SLITM technology, delivers multi-GPU (graphics processing unit) benefits when an NVIDIA® motherboard GPU is combined with an NVIDIA® discrete GPU. Hybrid SLITM technology today includes two primary features: GeForce® Boost and HybridPowerTM. This motherboard is compatible with GeForce® Boost feature in Hybrid SLITM, which can increase graphics performance. Currently, NVIDIA® Hybrid SLITM Technology is only supported with Windows® VistaTM OS, and is not available with other OS. Please visit our website for the driver update in the future.

GeForce® Boost

GeForce® Boost turbocharges the performance of NVIDIA® discrete GPU when combined with NVIDIA® motherboard GPU. When GeForce® Boost is enabled, the motherboard GPU and the discrete GPU share the rendering load by rendering different frames of an image. Installing NVIDIA® Hybrid SLITM-enabled graphics card into NVIDIA® Hybrid SLITM-enabled motherboard allows you to enjoy additive performance.
