other way they wont perform together?

Correct, without the bridge they will perform tasks independently. With the bridge it effectively doubles the gpu power but not the vram.

technically you only get a performance boost of a max 60-70% while average is around 20% I think that is what reviewers have said doing bench marks

it really depends on the programs/games you are running

 

some have really bad optimisation

Yeah but you rarely would ever get an actual double performance boost

I didn't say double the performance, I said double the gpu power, not the same thing.
