MSI, the leading motherboard brand, is proud to announce the world's first channel motherboard that passed the NVIDIA Quadro SLI certification, the upcoming MSI X99A WORKSTATION. With server level design and reliable stability, the MSI X99A WORKSTATION is optimized for NVIDIA Quadro SLI and VR SLI, built for high-end content creation PCs and the best rendering efficiency.

Moreover, X99A WORKSTATION adopts the unique Steel Armor and optimized PCI Express slots placement as well, to ensure perfect stability and compatibility. Steel Armor on the MSI X99A WORKSTATION has more solder points on the PCB for more strength. It also protects the PCI-Express signals against electromagnetic interference for hassle-free rendering and stability during heavy tasks.NVIDIA SLI technology for Quadro enables a fully optimized multiple GPU professional workstation. Professionals using SLI technology can leverage multiple GPUs to dynamically scale graphics performance, enhance image quality, expand display real estate, and assemble a fully virtualized system. In addition, through a rigorous testing and certification process, certified platforms deliver unmatched stability and compatibility. VR SLI provides increased performance for virtual reality apps where multiple GPUs can be assigned a specific eye to dramatically accelerate stereo rendering. With the GPU affinity API, VR SLI allows scaling for systems with more than 2 GPUs.

More Certifications to Come
Next to the MSI X99A WORKSTATION, MSI expects a vast list of X99 and Z170 motherboards to be certified with NVIDIA Quadro SLI in the coming weeks, including the X99A SLI PLUS, Z170 SLI PLUS and C236A WORKSATION, which are made for animators and designers. A list of motherboards that are in the process of certification can be found below.
