If you are planning on using this graphics card as part of an SLI system, the following

arerequired:

- AnSLIcertifiedmotherboardwithtwo/three PCIex16slotsand correctchipsetdriver

- TwoGV-N480UD-15I/GV-N470UD-13I/GV-N470OC-13I forSLI configuration;

- Apowersupplywith 900-wattor aboveis recommended

- AnSLIbridgeconnector or3-way SLIbridge connector

(Note 1) SLI technology requires a PCI Express motherboard with two/three x16 physical connectors.

Graphics cards working in an SLI configuration must be with the same model name

(e.g. GV-N480UD-15I/GV-N470UD-13I/GV-N470OC-13I) and from the same vendor (e.g.
