How To SLI Nvidia Graphics Cards
329This video shows you exactly how to SLI Nvidia graphics cards in order to run two GPUs at the same time! While I would love to say SLIing two Nvidia cards give you DOUBLE the performance, it doesn't. However, it doesn't make it any less freaking cool, and while running two GPUs in SLI does give you a performance boost, the cool factor is one of the best reasons to do it! xD

About this video: This video shows you how to SLI Nvidia graphics card in order to run two Nvidia GPUs at the same time. This can improve performance and help you export and encoding video faster, have better FPS in games and make things overall smoother.
So, how do you setup SLI in your PC? Well, it's pretty simple. Step one is to make sure you have everything you need. First, you'll need an SLI capable motherboard. One easy way to tell if your motherboard is SLI capable is that if it is, it will come with the second thing you need - an SLI Bridge. This will come in your motherboard box and should be labeled appropriately. Next, you'll need two of the exact same graphics cards in regards to clock speed, VRAM, and architecture type, and of course, you'll need to make sure your power supply is strong enough to handle running your system with two GPUs.
Once you've got all of that together, SLI your Nvidia graphics cards is pretty easy. Just install the GPUs as you normally would make sure that you push down the tab that locks it in place before putting in both of your cards. Put the thumb screws in place at the back of the GPU where the IO ports are located and hook up the power to both cards using the 6-pin and 8-pin power connectors supplied with your power supply.
After the Nvidia GPUs are installed, you need to install the SLI bridge. Doing this is easy. Just take it and put in on the exposed connectors on the left side of the GPU. These are right above the IO ports. You will connect one side of the SLI bridge to one GPU and the other side of the SLI bridge to the other GPU. Now, all of the hardware work is down. Put your side panels back on and let's jump into the software.
When you first boot up your PC, you'll need to install the Nvidia drivers. You can find these drivers at the link in the description above. Once you have downloaded and installed the Nvidia drivers, you'll need to make sure SLI is working. To do this, just right click on your desktop and click 'Nvidia Control Panel'. This will open up the Nvidia GPU control panel. Then, on the side, you will click 'Configure SLI, Surround, PhysX'. Once you're in this panel, just click 'Maximize 3D performance', and you are done! You now have a computer with two Nvidia GPUs running in SLI!
