SLI (Scalable Link Interface)
NVIDIA SLI™ (Scalable Link Interface) technology is a revolutionary
approach to scalability and increased performance. NVIDIA SLI takes advantage
of the increased bandwidth of the PCI Express™ bus architecture,
and features hardware and software innovations within NVIDIA GPUs (graphics
processing units) and NVIDIA nForce4 MCPs (media and communications processors).
Together the NVIDIA SLI patent-pending technologies work seamlessly to
deliver heart-pounding PC performance. Depending on the application,
NVIDIA SLI can deliver as much as 2x the performance of a single GPU configuration
for unparalleled gaming experiences.

Windows
Vista Ready
Windows Vista is the first operating system to require a GPU (Graphics
Processing Unit) to realize the best experience possible. |
PCI
Express 2.0 Support
PCI Express Base 2.0 specification doubles the interconnect bit rate
from 2.5 GT/s to 5 GT/s in a seamless and compatible manner. The performance
boost to 5 GT/s is by far the most important feature of the PCI Express
2.0 specifications. It effectively increases the aggregate bandwidth of
a 16-lane link to approximately 16 GB/s. The higher bandwidth will allow
product designers to implement narrower interconnect links to achieve high
performance. |

The capacitors on my old GeForce finally fried after 3 years of BF2.
I could not be happier that they did.
Only problem now is I need a new monitor.

Just plug it into the PCI-e slot and plug in the power, and install the drivers. This thing is monster. Runs all games on high settings. Runs Left 4 Dead 2 all on high settings with 1280 by 1020 resolution. A must buy. |
Works great in Pci-e 1 slot!

My EVGA motherboard does not have a Pci-e 2 slot but from my research on the net Pci-e 2 cards are backwards compatible to the older Pci-e 1 card slot. You really don't need the added bandwidth of the Pci-e 2 slot as the 9000 generation of NVidia cards are not capable of exceeding the bandwidth of the Pci-e 1 slot by much if at all. I'm currently running Dragon Age and Call to Duty Modern Warfare 2 at 1920x1200 resolution with full on video settings flawlessly with this card, a 2.66 MHz Core 2 Quad CPU, 4 Gig of RAM on a 2 year old EVGA motherboard running Windows 7. |
Made this artist's life easier :)

I am very pleased with this product I purchased. I work with a lot graphics intense programs and it has breathed new life to my EVGA SLI motherboard. It was easy to install and ready to go. I didn't even have to use the software included to get it to work. I should inform you guys that I already had an existing SLI card of the same 9800 series but different manufacturer. If you have a 9800 GTX of any brand, hook this card up and get ready for hours of intense video game playing or hours of graphics intense work! |
