(Note):
SLI technology requires a PCI Express motherboard with two x16 physical
connectors. Graphics cards working in an SLI configuration must be of the same
model and from the same vendor. To support SLI technology via the PCI Express
bus, the GV-NX84G256H requires driver version 158.27 or later.
