CHAPTER 4: Advanced Hardware Setup

Setting up dual video cards

If your computer has two high-end graphics cards installed, you can enable the SLI connection between two cards so that both cards work as a single card, delivering ultra-high frame rates for a single gaming monitor.

To set up the single-monitor SLI connection:

1Remove the side panel by following the instructions in “Opening the case” on page 47.

2Verify that you have multiple SLI video cards installed in your computer and that the SLI bridge cable is connecting the two. If you ordered the computer with two graphics cards, the bridge cable is already installed.
