Hi. I have 2 GTX 1080 Founders Edition that I use in SLI. I'm using the SLI regular bridge that came with my Asus motherboard. I've read that in order to obtain the maximum performance on that SLI configuration I should use the SLI HB Bridge specifically made for that card (GTX 1080).

I've been trying to get the SLI HB Bridge from EGVA and there is no way. It's always OUT OF STOCK. I see NVIDIA sells their own SLI HB Bridge, so my question is: Can I use the NVIDIA SLI HB bridge or because my GTX 1080 brand is EVGA I can only use the EVGA SLI HB Bridge one?

Thank you a lot!

Ok, I've reading more and I think the only difference with the EVGA is that you can control the lights/color and as I don't need that feature I'm going with the "generic" NVIDIA bridge. Thank you anyway!
