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

Just right after Wizz posted a review of GTX1080 SLI, which mentioned that the bridge does almost NIL to performance so far...

Also, with the new High Bandwidth technology on NVIDIA GTX 10 series cards, you get double the available transfer bandwidth compared to previous generation cards.

Wizz review just showed fps numbers, but i think where the real benefit comes from for the hb bridges in the better frametimes, so smoother overall experience.

Yeah sure, which you'll only need when 4K monitors running over 60hz become available.

Right now, the ONLY reason to buy these is for aesthetic reasons, which for many, including myself, is a good enough reason, but I'm under no illusions that it will in any way give better frame rates.

They should be made adjustable so you don't have to buy various sizes in case you swap Motherboards or just move slots.

Should be Free if you buy 2 GTX 1080s
Also why so many options make an adjustable one it should be hard its not a flying car...

Why charging one flexible bridge that can adapt to every position when you can make 4 and force the consumer to buy a new one every time he wants to modify the setup? Milk the cow, they say.

Then again these bridges show NO benefit over old bridges. Cash Grab cause Green people hence have green

They certainly do at 4k... not sure at 1440p though.

Also, using 2 flexible bridges gives the same exact 20-40% boost.
