EVGA Pro SLI Bridge

[IAcKI]

Really thinking about getting the 2-way sli bridge for my two 660 ti's. The bridge fits the white and black theme of my build.

But finsing it hard to justify dropping £20 on an Sli bridge!

Any thoughts?

Do it. It looks good, and wait...

 

Why do you have a high end Z77 motherboard and high end AIO with a locked i5?

 

I can only imagine though that your rig is stunning. Do it! Make your machine look even better than it already does! Also, do you have a build log?

[Shd0w2]

Buy a random cheap colored one and spray paint it?

*Shrugs*

It looks good but not worth the value....I guess that is why AMD has a 512bit PCIE 3.0 interface

Hey EVGA....I bought dual R9 290X

If you have a window, get it.

[JAKEBAB]

get it they look so nice and u can always use it in new builds when u upgrade etc

[FluffyNuggets]

Hope you realize it doesn't light up on your cards. 

[Lord Pantaloons]

Do it they look awesome, also lol "high end" AMD builds

Yeah I know, I just like the metal look of it!

It's because when I first bought the rig I had no idea what I was doing!  

Purchasing a 3770k soon though!

I do indeed have a build log! A little dated though

That's a pretty rig. How do dual 660 Tis perform?

what are you talking about? Lol, pci express, the 512 bit bus and the sli bridge have NOTHING to do with eachother. The reason AMD didn't use the crossfire bridge was because they realized that even pci-e 2.0 at 8x was enough bandwith to supple the extra bandwith needed from the crossfire bridge

I have to say around on par with a 780 in some games! 

I only have a 60Hz monitor and must say nearly all my games hardly dip below 60 Fps!

Thanks also!

My point being is that since you've clearly stated it has enough bandwidth it doesn't need some vender to want you to buy a $30 dollar (originally) SLI finger although it wouldn't work on the amd graphics cards. My point being since you didn't get it "you don't have to spend money on to make the most simple thing that ridiculous" I wouldn't pay $30 dollars for a SLI finger. Just grab one off ebay whether its a flexi or pcb one.

[wng_kingsley7]

Well actually if it fits the build (on sale) and it looks the part sure.

[MegaTechPC]

So you want us to tell you how important aesthetics are to you?  :huh:  I haven't bothered with the bridge myself but I can't tell you whether you should or not...

The 512bit bus has nothing to do with the extra bandwith that pcie has that AMD realized could be used for crossfire. Theoretically, nvidia could do it with their 680 with just a bios/ driver update

You still haven't figure out why I'm harping on it still have you? I don't know whether nvidia could do it personally however my point being if it hasn't been blatant enough with you supplying me with answers is there is no need...to spend money on a SLI finger..."period"

The evga sli bridge is an aesthetic touch that clearly is lost on someone that would happily buy the AMD 290x reference cooler!
