Gigabyte Releases Aorus NVLink-Bridge (with RGB)
NVLINK is the replacement interconnect for SLI to be used with RTX compatible graphics cards, NVLINK bridge connectors you need to purchase. A couple of days ago we reported about the ASUS one, Gigabyte now as well offers an AORUS RGB NVLink Bridge.
The AORUS RGB NVLink bridge does look nice themed for cards to match. At the top of the bridge, you'll notice the Aorus with RGB enablement. You can alter that RGB with the help of Gigabyte Fusion SYNC software. While I do not have a USD pricing on this one, these are listing for roughly €85,- and while that is not a lot more expensive than the NVIDIA ones, it is quite a bit of money for something as simple as an SLI bridge. They will be offered in a three and four slot version.

Real price of this thing minus rgb is 5$-10$ tops.
I am getting feeling that price is inflated because there is licensing fee paid to nV.

These things are designed with the thought of: What's the minimum amount of copper that allows transferring 100Gbps within the error tolerance stated in the specs. And it's not a whole lot of copper, by the way, looking at the length of those things.
