Check out these new EVGA SLI Bridges !!!!

Sounds a lot like claims made by "superior" HDMI cable manufacturers and the like

Any actual scientific data to back your claims up?

If you did the research yourself you wouldn't have to ask.

Most SLI bridges are merely RATED for 400mhz pixel clock, operation over that is largely hit or miss from bridge to bridge. I went through 4 different bridges till I found one that operated ok at 4K. The wording is a little off, but it's not just marketing 'faff. The bridge officially supports a pixel clock of 540mhz. If the bridge you are using isn't able to operate at the pixel clock you require for a given refresh rate and resolution, you'll experience strange artifacting and flickering.

You can workout the pixel clock you require in the NV control panel under custom resolutions.

That's shoddy, tbh. I wonder how many people got artifacting and just DSR'd after tearing their hair out. You'd never think it was the bridge.
 
Yeah, I think most of the ASUS bridges that are bundled are capable of over 400mhz pixel clock - but not officially 'rated'. My Rev 2.0 EVGA bridge definitely didn't like 4K.

It seems to be different or small case of scenarios in games that causes the problem to show itself. The same EVGA 2.0 bridge I have here has no problem at 1440p / 144hz, which is a pixel clock of 538mhz

In that case, they should say exactly that in their marketing blurb.

"Our bridge is rated 540MHz, here is a comparison with bridge 'X' and bridge 'Y' showing artifacting that can occur with lower rated SLI bridges"

The very latest V1 Pro Bridges can run that clock. Because we have already some different batches out there that can not support this and to get clearance we set up the V2 Version

Hi All,

with this bridges it is not just about the looking and marketing flaff. Like stated in the article the connectors and internal are overworked with high quality components and if you go SLI on 4K+ or with high refresh rates you will see a difference!

Bless. To be fair, you might get one or two people that will believe that.
