I am getting feeling that price is inflated because there is licensing fee paid to nV.

Real price of this thing minus rgb is 5$-10$ tops.

Yes, a 100Gbps interconnect costs 5-10$... :P

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.

I am still surprised these bridges are not included with the GPU. Have the RGB ones for sale for like $30-40.

What about some RGB screws for my RTX card? I am willing to pay as much as 100$. I am also playing with the idea of changing the gfx card shroud colour. How much is that? Yeah, lets pay for everything, cause, why not.

Wouldn't make sense to include it with a GPU. You effectively buy 2 gpu and then have 1 bridge with each purchase. Which also means 1 bridge is unusued. If anything, they should include these with your Motherboard purchase meaning, if its hard pcb, you get the right slot gap from the start. There are still many who don't know if their GPUs are 2,3 or 4slot gap design even after looking at their board.
