ECS (Elitegroup Computer Systems) has introduced its KN2 SLI motherboard, which can leverage Nvidia SLI technology through two full-bandwidth 16 lane PCI Express links.

The KN2 SLI motherboard is designed for extreme gamers and hardware enthusiasts, this being a member of the top-of-the-line ECS Extreme motherboard series.

Featuring ECS?s Scalable D.G.E. (Scalable Dual Graphic Engines) architecture, the KN2 SLI can leverage Nvidia SLI x16 technology with dual PCI Express x16 slots and one DUO-N card. The dual PCI-E x16 design ensures graphics performance for next-generation GPUs and games.

Driven by the DUO-N card, the dual PCI-E x16 slots can provide two full bandwidth, 16-lane logical PCI-E connections, supporting twice the bandwidth of dual x8 designs. KN2 SLI also features the nTune utility, a performance optimization tool that enables performance enthusiasts to overclock easily.

Embedding Nvidia?s advanced NFORCE4 SLI x16 chipset, the KN2 SLI features MediaShield storage technology, providing RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5 functionality for safe and easy storage of digital media assets plus SATA II and NCQ for high disk performance.

The KN2 SLI will be available starting December this year.
