peche so in the news... asus charges a lot of money for a crappy, plain, no leds or finishing sli bridge identical to the ones supplied with every Gigabyte, MSi, EVGA, Asrock and all the well known board manufacturers ? well....





Regards,

cyneater only big of wank about these bridges is the ROG logo the rest is how it should be...



personally I don't see the point of a zillion dollar bridge that lights up...

cadaveca Anyway, I has to wonder about that slot spacing... which seems to be the same for nearly every HB bridge so far. I wonder if NVidia dictates that...

ASUS is including these with their new packaging for their motherboards as well. This is just for people, like me, that bought a motherboard long before HB SLI Bridges were even a thing, and need to buy one separate. Also, since we don't know pricing, you can't say they are charging a lot of money.But considering ASRock's "no frills" HB SLI Bridge is $30 , I'm not holding my breath for a cheap price. But once there are more actually on the market(ASRock and ASUS seem to be the only ones available separately) and once ebay starts getting flooded with the direct from China ones, we'll see the prices go down.And really, buying the nVidia one direct from nVidia is only $40. And while they aren't as no frills as these, I also don't think they are as tacky looking as some of the others. And $40 isn't a terrible price when you consider the $1,000+ people are paying for the two graphics cards. Though really couldn't they throw one in with the cards at that price?Yeah, but I spray paint my bridges so they are all a solid color and the metal pins don't look like ass anyway, so not a big deal breaker.+The nVidia site lists 2, 3, and 4-slot versions. So I doubt they dictate the slot spacing. I'm guessing 3-slot is just the most common configuration, so that is what we see the most.
