2.5 Hybrid SLITM Operation Guide This motherboard supports NVIDIA® Hybrid SLITM feature. Hybrid SLITM technology, based on NVIDIA®' s industry-leading SLITM technology, delivers multi-GPU (graphics processing unit) benefits when an NVIDIA® motherboard GPU is combined with an NVIDIA® discrete GPU. Hybrid SLITM technology today includes two primary features: GeForce® Boost and HybridPowerTM. Hybrid SLITM increases graphics performance with GeForce® Boost and provides intelligent power management with HybridPowerTM. Currently, NVIDIA® Hybrid SLITM Technology is only supported with Windows® VistaTM OS, and is not available with other OS. Please visit our website for the driver update in the future. GeForce® Boost GeForce® Boost turbocharges the performance of NVIDIA® discrete GPU when combined with NVIDIA® motherboard GPU. When GeForce® Boost is enabled, the motherboard GPU and the discrete GPU share the rendering load by rendering different frames of an image. Installing NVIDIA® Hybrid SLITM-enabled graphics card into NVIDIA® Hybrid SLITM-enabled motherboard allows you to enjoy additive performance. HybridPowerTM HybridPowerTM enables users to switch off the discrete GPU when the higher processing power of the discrete GPU is not required and use the motherboard GPU for non intensive graphics applications. Switching off the discrete GPU not only lowers the total system power consumption for everyday computing tasks like browsing the Web, word processing, or watching HD videos but also lowers total system noise. English Minimum System Configuration for Hybrid SLITM For best Hybrid SLITM benefits, the following minimum system configuration is recommended.
