Hardcore PC enthusiasts have historically sought new ways to maximize graphics and system performance. Scalability, combining multiple graphics processing units (GPUs) to drive a single display, is one approach. Unfortunately, adding additional GPUs didn't always achieve the desired performance increase. Two PCI graphics cards in one system, two GPUs on a single card, even multiple cards in a workstation rack configuration all had serious limitations.

Now, Alienware
leverages a revolutionary approach to combining multiple GPUs in a single system
to enable screaming, boundless performance. SLI, or Scalable
Link Interface, is a high-performance technology that allows users to
intelligently combine and scale graphics performance by having multiple NVIDIA GPUs in a single system.
SLI works by
intelligently scaling geometry and fill rate performance for two GPUs. |
