Abstract
An asymmetrically scaling multiple GPU graphics system wherein the multiple GPUs are asymmetric, meaning that their rendering capabilities and/or rendering power is not equal. The asymmetric scaling multiple GPU graphics system includes a plurality of GPUs configured to execute graphics instructions from a computer system. A GPU output multiplexer and a controller unit are coupled to the GPUs. The controller unit is configured to control the GPUs and the output multiplexer such that the GPUs cooperatively execute the graphics instructions from the computer system.
