HB Bridge? Meh

[Josh_Galsky]

Hello! I have a single GTX 1080, and I'm thinking of getting a second one. I have multiple displays and I saw that the "surround" needs a HB Bridge... I also saw lots of videos on 2 standard SLI Bridges vs the HB Bridge, I do not see a difference in performance.  Someone please tell me if I need a solid SLI Bridge, 2 or 1 floppy SLI Bridge, or a HB Bridge (or anything else you recommend).

 

 

P.S.  I did not just get the HB Bridge because they're out of stock everywhere or at least takes 1 to 2 moths to ship...

 

Thanks!

any bridge works the same (i think)... you basically answered your own question, if there's no performance difference.

I also think so, but I'm not 100% sure...

Don't use the HB SLI bridge, add nothing special.

some say it works, others say it doesnt...

There are some performance gains with the HB bridge. The solid and flex SLI bridges should work for now but I'd advise getting a HB bridge anyway.

The HB bridge works slightly better than using two flex bridges. And both of them blow the single bridge out of the water, by 20fps in some games when using a 1080.
