Back of PCB

The top of the card has two SLI connectors. You can install three total NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 cards on the same motherboard assuming you have enough PCI Express x16 slots and proper spacing between the slots for installation. You need GeForce GTX260 cards, a SLI compatible motherboard and three open dual slots if you want to use three cards.

IO

The top of the card has two 6-pin power connectors for extra power that the PCI Express bus does not provide (PCI Express offers a maximum of 75W of power insufficient for the GTX260). The GIGABYTE card has a HDMI connector, a Dual-Link DVI-I connector and a D-Sub connector for analog CRT monitors. This card can do dual displays by connecting the appropriate connector or adapter to the card.
