A SLI video card is a video card that allows you to insert more than 2 graphics cards into your computer. It supports up to 4 of the same GPU's running at the same time. SLI was developed by 3DFX in 1997 for use with their graphics card the Voodoo2 but after the company was defuncted nVidia acquired the rights to use this technology. There is also CrossFireX which was developed by ATI.
