I prefer the old ones.

Yes but what about the SLI bridges.

They are nice, how much more than the last lot?

It would me nice to see mobo manufacturers including SLI bridges that matched the board rather than .£.0.10p ones the include now.

My Asus X99-E WS had 1x2, 1x3 and a 1x4 way SLI bridge in the box and the all looked like crap! shame as spending 20p more they could look like the VAG ones or even better.

Surely a pc has to be like my women. Stunning to look at and utterly awesome in performance.

They look great but shouldn't Nvidia be phasing bridges out altogether?

Just a shell with an led over a standard bridge more than likely, how much of a premium are they charging for these?

Orangey · 10 Apr 2015 at 16:41

About 50bux I think.

Bridge ribbon = few pennies?
Plastic shell = less than 1p?
LED = a penny?

Daylight robbery tbh.

I would love to see people making their own, posting pics & comparing etc

Sounds like they're actually ally, still pennies, just a few more pennies than plastic.

A GM200 chip is just a pile of sand.

finally some sli bridges compatible with 4K

Difference being I can't turn a pile of sand into a GM200 chip at home, where as I could make one of those SLI bridge shrouds at home with a few pennies worth of ally

I pray they never do that...

In all honesty - why?

Bridges are no longer necessary at all - and I don't believe it would take any performance away using the PCIE bridge like AMD do for Crossfire?

Its just a differentiator between AMD and NVidia now, no real reason to keep using them from everything I have seen, but happy to be corrected.

One the main reasons why I like the SLI bridge is I find it really helps support the weight of the cards and stops them from hanging down..
It just makes them a lot more solid when the two GPU's are linked together by an SLI bridge and not loose & floppy like they sometime can be without the SLI bridge fitted..

I don't know what cards you have used - but I have never had a problem with even a remotely floppy card. Im also dubious something that small and close to the riser would have that much of an effect in the first place

I think this is going to be placebo more than anything else
