A system administrator is tasked with installing an additional video card in a workstation that requires significant graphics processing capabilities. The workstation is currently running with a single video card connected to a PCIe x16 slot. After installing the second video card in an available PCIe x16 slot, the administrator must configure the system to ensure both video cards function properly. Which of the following should the administrator configure in the BIOS/UEFI settings to achieve optimal performance in a multi-GPU setup?
Increase the shared video memory
Disable the onboard graphics
Set the onboard graphics as the primary display adapter
SLI or CrossFire should be enabled to allow two or more graphics cards to work together to provide increased graphics performance. This setting is usually found within the BIOS/UEFI under Advanced settings or a similar tab for managing onboard device configurations or graphics settings. Enabling this feature allows the system to distribute workload between the graphics cards, enhancing performance particularly in graphics-intensive applications. Other options, such as setting the primary display adapter or disabling onboard graphics, are not specifically related to the function of multiple GPUs working in tandem.
