Two sli bridges or one sli bridge HB?

[Annihilator]

Hi all i have this problem.

I have ordered two gtx sli 1080 but, during wait, not know if needed to buyng a new nvidia sli bridge HB or need two normal sli bridges.Any one know it?Because is hard to find solution and i not understand well this thing.Of course not change so much on performance, i know, but just for know because i already have two normal sli bridges found in the bundle of the motherboards(and not know if needed both).

Thx in advance and for the reading :)

Pascal cards dont use normal SLI-bridges.

You can order them there, scroll down the page and pick one for the PCI-E slot spacing of your motherboard.

Another small question.All sli bridges HB is same or need buyng the same brand of the gpu?

For example: needed evga bridge for the evga gpu?Or i can buyng a nvidia bridge for the evga custom gpu too?Or not is compatible?

I would suggest using the same manufacturer, I've heard that some AIB's differ from each other on the placement of the bridge connection, and you don't want to have to torque or bend your units to get them to reach. But that's just my opinion... play it safe, stick with the same namebrand... even if it is a couple $ more...

Normally it will work as long as they're both of the same GPU model. They will run at the lower clock of the two.

Nvidia bridges that you order from their site work with all cards. Some brands like EVGA make their own bridges to match the visual design of cards, doesnt mean that it would work better with those cards, actually from what I heard the official Nvidia bridges will actually work better with better SLI performance results. Not confirmed though, some people have just said that they got better benchmarks with Nvidia bridges then EVGA bridges.

Are both results conducted with HB SLI bridges? Some last-gen fixed EVGA bridges look very similar to the new ones, but obviously they do not have the updated specs.

Yes, both with HB.

Interesting...

Well I can't imagine why NVIDIA will wanna hold back on its no.1 partner though, and that EVGA is the only one manufacturers aftermarket bridges.
