Don't no about all the marketing BS. But i have found the flexible ones have a habit off braking.
I would recommend that you don't push so hard on the brake pedal then.

Nvidia should do what AMD did, Crossfire over PCI Express and since PCI Express isn`t fully utilized if you are using PCIe 2.0 x16/PCIe 3.0 x8 just to be on a safe side, performance will not suffer:

AMD only switched to Crossfire communication over PCI-Express because they had to. Their external crossfire bridged didn't support 4k.

And while that graph shows how it affects a single GPU, I don't believe there has ever been a proper analysis of how the lower PCI-E bandwidth affects multiple GPU setups. So that graph doesn't really tell us anything.

I don't know that performance wouldn't suffer in an x8/x8 configuration with the Crossfire/SLI communication happening over the PCI-E bus. This is especially true at 4k resolution since it seems going up to that resolution has over powered the bandwidth provided by the dedicated bridge.

I have the old EVGA one and with a 144 monitor you get an odd flicker during load screens, this new one is said to fix it.

Nicest SLI Bridge is ASUS ROG, only I don't like that ROG sign.
But their SLI Bridge is simple and nicest for me. But because of that EVGA graphics look much nicer than ASUS.
NVIDIA SLI Bridge is cool to, special for reference cards.
But this EVGA looks like best quality from picture and probably is build very fine.
