What GPU is this? And is this a SLI bridge?

I recently was given these two GPUs and have no idea what kind they are. A quick google search of things printed on the PCB suggest a Nvidia Quadro of some sort. The cards appear to have a SLI bridge included, is that what it is? Would these two cards off better performance than my current crappy overclocked Radeon R7 240.

Install one and run GPU-Z to identify it. Can't really give you input on the comparison without knowing what you are working with.

Those are two Nvidia 8600 GTS cards

And no they are not faster than the R7 240. Maybe both in SLI, assuming you'd find a game to support it. But doubtful.

Rogue Leader :

Thank you! And yea the R7 240 is far better (I think even if I did put these in SLI). http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GeForce-8600-GTS-vs-AMD-R7-240/m8311vsm8608. I think I would be able to set a record for the worst SLI build in history though.
