Nvidia have the right to the acronym SLI but don't get confused into
thinking this is Scan Line Interleaving,as it isn't.

According to NVIDIA for SLI = Scalable Link Interface

From what i've seen only one card is responsible for generating the image,
the other is just a second GPU which performs tasks allocated by the first
GPU. This is far more efficeint than the Voodoo solution as no graphics
calculations are done twice.

Each GPU will start half and will change depending on the load. Software
will determine which load to distribute to which GPU.

It also means that cards don't have to match so another upgrade path
becomes available. You can add a new faster card as the master and keep

the
old one as the slave GPU.

You will need both identical card. Best is to have that same card from the
same manufacturer.
