MSI to release new 3 and 4-way SLI Bridges with mounted FAN

MSI will soon release new 3 and 4-way SLI Bridges with a mounted FAN unit. Some early photos have reached the web, which you can see after the break.

So I think it is relatively safe to say that the graphics card market is ina slope right now, both manufacturers are waiting until volume production of 14/15/16nm will become a fact. And that fact should be around the May/June 2016 time-frame.

Hence the VGA teams have a bit more free time on their hands. Over at MSI they are fabbing new SLI connectors. MSI is to offer 3 and 4-way SLI bridges that will incorporate an included fan that blows cold air towards the fans and this over the graphics cards. not at all a bad idea really as 3/4-way setups can really bring a GPU to the boil due to bad airflow.

We should already have a couple of these units inbound, below the first photo of what that's going to look like. Apologies for the shaky camera photo. Once the new bridges arrive I'll do a proper photo-shoot and demonstrate them better.

Does this mean that SLI bridges are here to stay? nVidia needs to go like AMD.

FINALLY.

What I've always been lacking - more vibration on my connectors.
