NVIDIA® Hybrid SLI Technology

Hybrid SLI™ Technology is a unique hybrid multi-GPU technology. It includes two primary features: GeForce Boost and HybridPower™. GeForce Boost turbo-charges performance of discrete graphics cards when combined with M3N series motherboard GPUs. HybridPower™ unleashes graphics performance for demanding 3D applications and enables low-power operation for everyday computing needs. You can switch from the discrete GeForce GPU(s) to the motherboard GPU for a quiet, low power PC experience. See page 2-19 for details.

Geforce Boost and HybridPower™ are independent on select GeForce GPUs. Visit www.nvidia.com/hybridsli for more information.
