NVIDIA® Hybrid SLI® Technology Support
Hybrid Requirements and Constraints
1 You should have a Hybrid SLI Enabled Motherboard and Hybrid SLI En-
abled Graphics Card.
2 Hybrid SLI is only supported with the Vista operating system.
3 GeForce Boost mode allows up to two displays to be connected to either
mGPU or to the dGPU. When displays are connected to both adapters,
hybrid mode is disabled and multi adapter extended desktop mode is en-
abled. In the multi-adapter extended desktop mode, up to four displays
could be connected (up to two displays driven by mGPU and up to two
displays by dGPU).
4 HybridPower mode requires displays to be connected to the mGPU.
HybridPower cannot be enabled when displays are driven through the
dGPU.
5 Hybrid SLI requires at least 256 MB of frame buffer carve out for the
motherboard GPU. Hybrid SLI will not work if the frame buffer size is set
to be less than 256 MB.
6 For best GeForce Boost performance, the following minimum system
configuration is recommended:
AMD Phenom CPU or Intel CPU run-ning at FSB 1333 MHz
2 × 1024 MB of DDR2-800 DRAM
Discrete GPU recommended for GeForce Boost
7 Visit the ECS website (
www.ecs.com.tw) for for more information of this
motherboard.
8 Make sure that your graphics card driver supports the NVIDIA®
Hybrid
SLI® Technology. Download the latest driver from the NVIDIA website
(www.nvidia.com). Or visit this website (http://www.nvidia.com/object/
hybrid_sli.html) for more Hybrid SLI information.
9 Make sure that your power supply unit (PSU) can provide at least the
minimum power required by your system.
10 NVIDIA requires that customers update their current inventory and future
builds of GeForce 8400 GS / 8400 cards using VBIOS version 62.98.29.00.00
or later.
