Hello,

So as we all new if you want to SLI two 1080 you need the new High Bandwidth SLI Bridge, so my question is do you think AMD will come out with similar if you want to crossfire to rx 480s or are there old ribbon cables "good" enough?

Thoughts?

You can crossfire 480s without the band, it goes through the pcie slot. they dont use the cables anymore.

...which kind of sucks as with a bridge/cable Crossfire would have fewer issues.

AMD cards don't need bridges and haven't for a few years now. They've done crossfire through the motherboard without a bridge since the 200 series.

Bridges are a thing of the past. That HB bridge that Nvidia is pushing is just marketing crap basically because they aren't allowed to do it over PCIE. AMD patented the crap out of that technology so it's gonna be a while until Nvidia gets to use it.

I was wondering why Nvidia still used bridges. Didn't know it was because of AMD patents.

Ya I remember hearing about it when it was coming out. I believe they patented the use of XDMA for Crossfire/SLI. I could be wrong though, as I haven't seen the actual patents. There's also probably other ways of doing it too so Nvidia could probably get around it. I mean, they do have NVLink, but that requires a special chip on the motherboard.
