Nvidia releases new SLI bridges - Looks Nice

[GoodBytes]

Nvidia releases new SLI bridge connectors that matches the reference designed of their high end tier GPUs.

You can get them through Nvidia Store only.

The 2-way SLI bridge model is $29.99 U.S

The 3-way SLI bridge model is $39.99 U.S

Nvidia Store: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/sli/bridges

It is designed to work with any cards, but the look is designed to match the reference design of:

GeForce GTX 770, GTX 780, GTX 780 Ti, GTX TITAN, GTX TITAN Black, GTX 970 and GTX 980.

The light of the SLI bridge, can be controlled via GeForce Experience (v: 1.7 or later).

That's a lot of money, not that it would go with my build colors.

 

Apparently, if you shoot an email over to OriginPC, they would give you one for $5 and shipping.

Those are sexy

[Brainless906]

Those are sexy and expensive as hell.

[simtransporter]

I like them.

[Geekazoid]

What if you want a 4-way SLI Bridge?

[Sexy Vanilla Freshness]

Damn, they could at least let EVGA sell them so I can get one in UK.

[archip]

If only I could just decorate a card with it and not have to buy two cards

[Notional]

Or you know, you could remove the need for such a device, by utilizing the PCI-e bandwidth instead, like AMD's Xfire. Come on Nvidia. 30-40$ for something that shoudl essentially not be needed whatsoever.

Even Nvidia thinks 4 way is a waste of time lol

Hasn't Linus proven with Luke that multiple GPUs in SLI or Crossfire hardly make a difference?

[cesrai]

Meanwhile waiting for pascal to get bridge less Sli and AMD allrrady has bridge less crossfire

Nice timing eh Nic?

[Captain_Slow]

ARRRR SOOO NICE

 

WANT WANT

 

but wont look nice with my non-reference design GPUS...

 

 

 

[Real_PhillBert]

Oooo. I like.

No, 2 way and 3 way can scale very well.

 

2 way is highly effective in a lot of games.

i think sticking with the bridge between cars will always be the best option,

[TheProfosist]

I assume its live the evga ones so the light will only work with 700 series cards and newer.

There's a reason Nvidia sticks with bridged. It has a higher bandwidth ceiling and doesn't at all touch the power moving through the PCIe bus. Bridges is more stable and has more potential.

[mr.skyrim_pc]

Why can't they do what AMD did and make them bridge less? that would look good.

[bcredeur97]

i belive for 4 way you can use 3, 2 way bridges.

 

 

3 way vs 4 way is a very small performance gain though. if anything its a performance drop since the latency between frames becomes ridiculous.

Do the multiple bridges add latency? Honest question

Damn, I saw that they had a page but now that they are for sale :D Time to order some.

[Anthony10]

finally!!

[Bsmith]

yeah good nobody else did that before.

 

/s

EVGA was faster and cheaper, $29.99, for a 2-way and 2/3-way bridge
