The SLI bridge is how the two cards communicate and synchronize. It is essential.
Why are you thinking of doing this?

The last driver that supported SLI without a bridge from NVidia was version 258.96, I think, about five years ago; not sine then,
Although the bridge is not explicitly required to enable 2-way SLI with most GPUs, it provides a dedicated communication pathway for the GPUs to exchange data across. When this link is not present the PCIe bus will become the means of communication, which can degrade performance. 3-way and 4-way SLI configurations must use the bridge as a result of the amount of data being shared.
