Inveterate gamers must have come across or at least heard about technologies called SLI and Crossfire, which are commonly referred to as the graphics system of a computer or laptop. In most cases, these terms apply more to stationary systems (this will be discussed a bit later). However, sometimes for the normal operation of the computer you will need to know how to disable Crossfire or SLI when these modes are not used. This will be discussed now.
SLI and Crossfire: General Concepts
Probably, it’s worth starting with the fact that, from the point of view of modern computer technologies, SLI and Crossfire are specialized modes that support the installation of two or more video cards on a computer.

However, if you figure it out, you can sometimes use these modes, but in situations where two cards are not involved, it is recommended to disable one of them, and you need to use special software designed to manage all the parameters of the graphics adapters. And such a shutdown is carried out, as they say, in one click.
