Default Noob question.

Ive seen this countless times ,

some people have dual video cards and only ONE SLI/Crossfire Bridge.

And then ive seen people with two SLI/Crossfire bridges.


What do you gain with one more bridge?

Thanks for reading

For two cards you only need one sly bridge for 3 cards you only need 1 bridge

It wasn't a phony picture, a lot of people just rather put both bridges on because it looks better and what would you do with the other if you put 1 on? It would also look weird with only 1...
