EVGA Pro SLI HB Bridges

EVGA has announced Pro SLI Bridge HB, four SLI bridges using the new high bandwidth protocol that Nvidia introduced with pascal. The logo on top of the bridge is equipped with LEDs and can optionally in red, are shown in green, blue or white.

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070 can be used with existing SLI bridges, but the new HB variants provide higher bandwidth with pascal GPUs. According to EVGA these provide better frame pacing.

The company shows an example of Shadow of Mordor played at a resolution of 11520x2160 pixels. With two 1080 GTX GPUs HB-bridges frames seem consistent. According to Nvidia's HB bridge is not necessary for a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels at 60Hz (we confirm). At higher frame rates or resolutions should provide higher bandwidth advantage.

EVGA releases four different bridges. All support a maximum of two cards, the distance between the connectors is different. So arrangements can be made with 0, 1, 2 or 4 PCIe slots to "spacing" between the two graphics cards. EVGA has listed the new SLI bridges on its website for a suggested retail price of $ 39.99 each.

Features:

Separate models to support various card spacing configurations
Optimized for NVIDIA Surround, 4K+ and 120Hz+ gaming
EVGA logo illuminates and can be configured to display in Red, Green, Blue or White color
Compatible with GeForce GTX 1080/1070

The HB Bridge offers nothing over the old bridge so save your money.

Are there some additional electronic parts required inside SLi Bridge now?
Because I presume it is just connector and flat wiring...

... for $40. Rly?

Anyone else remember when people were saying Pascal's high bandwith would allow 8x+ SLI configurations?

Still, thanks for sharing the info. My 2 months old V2.0 bridge will do just fine

Willl it do any difference with SLI bridges test ? Or Nvidia SLI anyway ?

Back to the topic:

Looking at their results.. High bandwith dont seem to mean higher performance ..

Nvidia is really better than Apple at marketing lol. Seriously, Apple should just take their best marketing leaders and send them to learn some lessons from Nvidia one ..
