    SLI bridge.

    Installed my new 670 today, then realized I didn't have an sli bridge. Can anyone recommend one or where to buy one? I've checked on scan and they seem to be out of stock. Weird they don't put them in the box with your card.

    I haven't seen one, and if it did and I just didn't see it it's long lost now.

    Re: SLI bridge.

    Thats what I was thinking, I'll probably grab http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nvidia-adapt...rds=sli+bridge
    that one, its only a tenner and sold my nvidia so should be my best bet.

    Re: SLI bridge.

    "Made" by nvidia supposidly and seriously doubt it is.

    Sold by PC24 Shop & Service and Fulfilled by Amazon.

    Looks as ropy as the ones on ebay and is unbranded.

    Re: SLI bridge.

    I am sure that I read on the Nvidia site that with PCIE 2 and above that it was not mandatory to use a SLI bridge, I have not confirmed this myself but did find this on a forum.

    SLI bridges weren't required starting with the 8000 series cards from my research. However, holdingholder is right in that it reduces performance for higher end cards. The SLI data is transferred via the PCI-E bus when not using a bridge. Lower end cards can't saturate this bus, but higher end cards can and will suffer when it happens.

    as cheap as you can, ask in the wanted section m8.

    Sadly, the OP only has 45 posts so won't have access to the classifieds section. OP, I take it you've asked around your friends? If they're anything like my friends, one of them's bound to have a box of random stuff lying around that might have one in!
