To Flat Panel Display To Flat Panel Display To HDMI Monitor To Mini HDMI Monitor To D-sub Monitor To Mini DisplayPort Monitor To Mini DisplayPort Monitor -5- Hardware Installation How NVIDIA®SLITM (Scalable Link Interface) technology works: If you are planning on using this graphics card as part of an SLI system, the following are required: - An SLI certified motherboard with two/three PCIe x16 slots and correct chipset driver - An SLI bridge connector or 3-way SLI bridge connector In an SLI configuration, two/three SLI-ready graphics cards of the same model and the same manufacturers are connected together via SLI bridge connector in a system that provides two/three x16 PCI Express slots to scale graphics performance. The picture below shows that two and three graphics cards are linked in parallel in an SLI configuration. SLIConfiguration: SLI bridge connector (provided by motherboard manufacturer) Two SLI-ready graphics cards of the same type. (Example: GV-N28-1GH-B) 3-WaySLIConfiguration: 3-Way SLI bridge connector (provided by motherboard manufacturer) Two SLI-ready graphics cards of the same type. (Example: GV-N28-1GH-B) NVIDIA Series Graphics Accelerator -6- 3. To change video color settings, go to Adjust Video Color Settings under the Video and TV section from the Start page. Rotate Display The NVIDIA Rotate features enable you to change the orientation of your desktop to portrait, landscape, and inverted modes.

Clone Mode (2)Configuredindependentlyfromeachother (Dualview) Dualview mode indicates that both displays in the display pair function as one virtual desktop. Unlike Horizontal Span or Vertical Span mode, Dualview treats each display as a separate device. This means that the taskbar will not be stretched across displays and 3D applications are not accelerated as efficiently as when the application spans displays. Dualview Mode (3) As one large horizontal desktop (Horizontal span) Horizontal Span mode indicates that both displays in the display pair function as one wide virtual desktop. The width of each display is half the width of the total virtual desktop width. Horizontal Span Mode (4) As one large vertical desktop (Vertical span) Vertical Span mode indicates that both displays in the display pair function as one tall virtual desktop. The height of each display is half the height of the total virtual desktop height. Vertical Span Mode NVIDIA Series Graphics Accelerator - 18 - Stereoscopic 3D Tasks in the Stereoscopic 3D pages allow you to do the following: · Set up stereoscopic 3D · View compatibility with games Set Up Stereoscopic 3D You can enable stereoscopic 3D, set depth, and set your 3D displays and 3D glasses. (To enable stereoscopic 3D function, you will need 3D displays and glasses. When the Windows Advanced Options Menu appears, select Safe Mode and press <Enter>. After getting into Safe Mode, in Device Manager check whether the driver for the graphics card is correct.
