And while that graph shows how it affects a single GPU, I don't believe there has ever been a proper analysis of how the lower PCI-E bandwidth affects multiple GPU setups. So that graph doesn't really tell us anything.
I don't know that performance wouldn't suffer in an x8/x8 configuration with the Crossfire/SLI communication happening over the PCI-E bus. This is especially true at 4k resolution since it seems going up to that resolution has over powered the bandwidth provided by the dedicated bridge.
But their SLI Bridge is simple and nicest for me. But because of that EVGA graphics look much nicer than ASUS.
NVIDIA SLI Bridge is cool to, special for reference cards.
But this EVGA looks like best quality from picture and probably is build very fine.
