  Hybrid SLI
Hybrid SLI technology is a unique hybrid multi-GPU technology built upon NVIDIA. Hybrid SLI technology today includes two primary features: GeForce Boost and HybridPower. GeForece Boost turbo-charges performance of NVIDIA discrete graphics cards when combined with this series motherboard GPUs. HybridPower unleashes graphics performance when needed and enables low-power operation when performance is not needed. You can switch from the discrete GeForce GPU(s) to the motherboard GPU for a quiet, low power PC experience.
