Question about SLI Bridge

AdmiralWen · October 23, 2014

I understand that an SLI bridge usually comes with the motherboard, but is it a standard length bridge or is it the extended bridge (to allow some breathing space for the two GPUs)? Also, the bridge doesn't vary by GPU line, correct? As in, the bridge that worked for the 780 will work for the 980?

1. Depends on the Motherboard. And the size. If you get a 2x SLI ATX one you will get a single extended bridge.

2. The 700 series bridges work with 900 series.

Also, Nvidia sells them.

An SLI bridge is an SLI bridge, they all serve the same function and are backwards and forwards compatible.

What motherboard do you have? You can check the spacing between the x16 PCIe Slots to see which bridge would give more clearance. Also, all Nvidia SLI Bridges will work with any SLI-Capable GPU, so your 780 SLI Bridge will work on your 980
