•SLITM Configuration

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

arerequired:

- AnSLIcertified motherboardwithtwo/threePCIex16slots andcorrectchipsetdriver

- TwoGV-N570SO-13IforSLIconfiguration;

ThreeGV-N570SO-13Ifor3-waySLIconfiguration

- Apowersupply with1000-wattoraboveisrecommended

- AnSLIbridgeconnector or 3-way SLIbridgeconnector

(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-N570SO-13I) and from the same vendor (e.g. GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY).

How NVIDIA®SLITM (Scalable Link Interface) technology works:

In an SLI configuration, two/three SLI-ready graphics cards of the same model and the same manufac-

turers 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.

3. Software Installation

Notice the following guidelines before installing the drivers:

1. First make sure your system has installed DirectX 9 or later version.

2. Make sure your system has installed the appropriate motherboard drivers (for the motherboard

drivers, please contact the motherboard manufacturer.)

3.1. Driver and Utility Installation

3.1.1. Driver Installation

After installing the operating system, insert the driver disk into your optical drive. The driver Autorun

screen is automatically displayed which looks like that shown in the screen shot below. (If the driver

Autorun screen does not appear automatically, go to My Computer, double-click the optical drive and

execute the setup.exe program.)

For software MPEG support in Windows XP, you must install DirectX first. Users who run

Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or above do not need to install DirectX separately.

Step 1:

Click the Install Display Driver item.

Step 2:

Click the Next button.

The system is installing the components.

Step 4:

Click the Finish button to restart the computer.

Then the driver installation is completed.

Step 3:

Click the Yes button.
