NVIDIA Working On Energy-Efficient SLI

X-Bit Labs are reporting that NVIDIA is conjuring up an energy-efficient SLI Hybrid technology. It’s designed to cut power consumption and improve performance. It all has to do with power saving schemes mainly, disabling of cores when they are not being used, eg, when you are not playing a game that requires both. In an age where our power bills cost as much as car payments, anything energy efficient is welcomed.

Nvidia’s new Hybrid SLI technology will have two modes and that will target different applications: the Power Saving Mode, which will switch off discrete graphics core and use only integrated graphics engine when high performance is not needed, whereas Max Performance Mode will make integrated graphics processor (IGP) to assist discrete graphics processing unit (GPU) and boost performance when it is required.
