NVIDIA Kicks Off SLI Certification Program

November 12th 2004 | NVIDIA

The motherboard certification, [NVIDIA] said, will not “by design” exclude boards based on third-party chipsets. NVIDIA will require that the chipset’s PCI Express implementation be recognized by the PCI SIG and that it pass testing, but the firm says “the more the merrier” on chipsets that support its SLI tech. We are still a little skeptical about whether or not NVIDIA will be able to resist the temptation to use SLI certification as a bludgeon against its chipset competitors, but we’re willing to wait and watch to see what happens. If all goes as we would hope, SLI certification will be a useful tool for the consumer, not just a marketing ploy.
