For Mac users who may not yet be familiar with the terms “SLI” and “Crossfire” from the Windows world, “SLI” stands for “Scalable Link Interface” and NVIDIA defines the technology as: A revolutionary platform innovation that allows you to intelligently scale graphics performance by combining multiple NVIDIA graphics solutions in a single system with an NVIDIA nForce SLI media and communications processor (MCP). SLI technology is the only multi-GPU solution that was built from the ground up with dedicated scalability logic in each GPU. This logic enables the most efficient communication between GPUs providing the best scalability performance. SLI technology also has the most comprehensive list of supported games. ATI explains that the rival Crossfire technology is different because: CrossFire can enable multi-GPU rendering on all applications. CrossFire supp
