    Hi all

    I've lurked for a bit and tried google but can't seem to get a direct answer so I'm going to ask here: My motherboard has the model number MS - 1762 and I would like to know if it is SLI compatibile? I plan on adding another GTX 675m to my laptop

    Thanks

    That is a MSI laptop yes? No I don't think it can use two GPUs.

    It's not a MSI laptop but it uses that motherboard (it.s a custom built one from DevilTech)

    There's only one DevilTech machine that supports SLI. If it's not the "HellMachine" then you're limited to one GPU.

    Lol, you made it sound so simple. Graphics cards for laptops work in a specific slot, unlike a desktop where you could potentially remove your ethernet or wireless card and plug in a graphics card. For future reference any laptop that supports 2 GPUs is VERY likely to be sold with 2 gpus originally and marketed in a way that you couldn't possibly not notice that it supports 2 gpus.
