I'm trying to figure out what SLI bridge to buy. I've never tried SLI and want to.
I was reading this technical article which looks at the different SLI bridges (flexible, LED and HB): https://overclocking.guide/nvidia-hb-sli-bridge-technical-review.
I know many think you can just use 2 flexible bridges no problem but the technical analysis shows the LED & HB Bridge have a wave shaped traces to have exactly equal lengths whereas the flexible bridges do not. It looks like this is the difference NVIDIA has done to 'correct' issues of the flex bridge (micro screen tearing, etc). It also looks like the HB Bridge is nothing more than 2 LED Bridges...
I'm trying to figure out if these two items are functional identical:
https://www.asus.com/Motherboard-Accessory/SLI-HB-BRIDGE2-WAY-M
https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards-Accessory/ROG-SLI-HB-BRIDGE
All I have now is a single flexible SLI cable so I know I need to get something. I don't necessarily want that glowing HB Bridge so if I can get the regular one.
