NVIDIA^® SLI^™ technology for NVIDIA Quadro^® graphics boards is a revolutionary platform innovation that enables professional users to dynamically scale graphics performance, enhance image quality, and expand display real estate by combining multiple NVIDIA graphics solutions in a single system. Using dedicated scalability logic in each NVIDIA Quadro graphics processing unit (GPU) and highly tuned NVIDIA® ForceWare® software, NVIDIA SLI technology delivers new levels of performance, quality, and a higher resolution. Further, qualified NVIDIA SLI systems from leading vendors, are backed by a rigorous testing and certification process to deliver an entire certified platform solution ensuring unmatched stability and platform compatibility

SLI offers three operation modes:

• SLI Frame Rendering: Combines two identical NVIDIA Quadro PCI Express graphics cards with an SLI connector to transparently scale application performance on a single display by presenting them as a single graphics card to the operating system.

• SLI Multi View: Combines the power of two identical NVIDIA Quadro PCI Express graphics cards to drive multiple displays, with each GPU dedicated to a single display or to a pair of displays.

• SLI FSAA (Full Scene Anti Aliasing): Combines two identical NVIDIA Quadro PCI Express graphics cards with an SLI connector to transparently scale image quality on a single display by presenting them as a single graphics card to the operating system.

• NVIDIA® SLI® Mosaic Mode, available only on Quadro Plex*, enables transparent use of multiple Quadro GPUs with multiple displays by presenting them as a single logical Quadro GPU to the operating system.
  *Available only on Models IV or later
