Chapter 8 Using NVIDIA SLI Technology Overview of SLI Technology for NVIDIA Quadro Cards Professional users benefit by using SLI technology on dual NVIDIA Quadro GPUs to span an OpenGL window across multiple displays, or to run a single application on each GPU. The SLI connector offers dual GPU performance on a single display by leveraging the capabilities of two NVIDIA Quadro GPUs. SLI Modes for NVIDIA Quadro GPUs There are three SLI functions available for NVIDIA Quadro GPUs: SLI Frame Rendering Mode SLI frame rendering combines two PCI Express graphics boards 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 Mode SLI multi‐view combines the power of two NVIDIA Quadro PCI Express graphics boards to span a single hardware‐accelerated OpenGL application window across multiple displays, run a single application per GPU with multiple display outputs, or enable other uses of two PCI Express graphics boards. SLI Antialiasing Mode SLI antialiasing combines the power of two PCI Express graphics boards to offer higher quality antialiasing. 157 Quadro Workstation User's Guide
