NVIDIA company proposed the technology hybrid power, which allows to switch between the discrete video card and integrated graphic chipset cores depending on the load type . According to the intention of developers, in office applications or idle time the image must be formed with an integrated video core, and only during games the discrete video card should start.
The hybrid power technology had a number of limitations. First , monitor connection is made on the motherboard , which deprived user from the possibility to simultaneously derive images to several monitors. In the second place, at the early stages of hybrid power realization was provided a manual switch between the graphic cores, moreover this last worked only under the operating system Windows vista.
As report associate, the video card GeForce GTX 285 and GeForce GTX 295 were deprived from the support of hybrid power technology. .
The low performance of hybrid power technology in the retail market segment forced NVIDIA to refuse further support. Analogous step was taken for the technology GeForce boost, which allows possible to create SLI from the integrated and discrete video card. Thus, the packaged technology hybrid SLI for retail users will disappear in summer. OEM- producers can realize the support Of hybrid SLI in their products, if they consider this necessary.
