Setting up dual video cards
If your computer has two high-end graphics cards installed,
you can enable the SLI connection between two cards so that
both cards work as a single card, delivering ultra-high frame
rates for a single gaming monitor.
To set up the single-monitor SLI connection:
1 Remove the side panel by following the instructions in
“Opening the case” on page 47 .
2 Verify that you have multiple SLI video cards installed in
your computer and that the SLI bridge cable is
connecting the two. If you ordered the computer with
two graphics cards, the bridge cable is already installed.
3 Replace the side panel by following the instructions in
“Closing the case” on page 50 .
4 Connect your monitor to the upper right DVI port.
