MSI Launches Premium GAMING SLI Bridge

btarunr · Jun 22, 2015

As game developers continue to push the boundaries of epic in-game graphics, the popularity of 4K gaming is also on the rise. To fully enjoy this spectacular gaming experience, hardware requirements are also pushed higher than ever. Gamers running multiple powerful graphics cards in SLI are enjoying ever more benefits. As the leading brand in Gaming, MSI is excited to unveil a brand new premium GAMING SLI bridge which forms the perfect link for any MSI GAMING SLI setup.

The bridge features a premium LED illuminated GAMING logo that can be controlled by the exclusive MSI Gaming App and is forged out of high quality materials. It supports 2-Way SLI for NVIDIA GTX 900 series graphics cards. The carefully engineered metal shroud on the SLI connectors gives the new GAMING SLI Bridge a solid look & feel while also enabling higher conductivity. Optimized for 4K+ resolutions and 144Hz+ refresh rates, the MSI GAMING SLI bridge is ready for next generation gaming.

Size (L x W x H): 9.6 x 3.5 x 2.1 cm
Weight: 50 g
SLI connector spacing: 60 mm (4 slots)

Not you aswell MSI...

XDMA ftw.

ZoneDymo · Jun 22, 2015

The "gaming" and "premium" do a decent job but we surely do better "MSI shows AMD how a multiple card setup should be done with a premium gaming bridge and not a poor man's over PCI connection"

Your vendetta is quite dull.

Wahhaahaayyyy too late into the game. The game is over next generation of cards anyway (and this gen for AMD fiji and hawaii)

manofthem · Jun 22, 2015

That looks great with their cards!

ShredBird · Jun 22, 2015

Tacky, inflated marketing BS. Yuck.

dorsetknob · Jun 22, 2015

Probably cost as much as the motherboard

Patriot · Jun 22, 2015

Multi-gpu bridges, what are those for? -XDMA

Haytch · Jun 22, 2015

I think it looks nice. Would make a nice addition to an MSi rig if it cost less than $20au.

FreedomEclipse · Jun 23, 2015

Asus ROG Bridges are currently costing £50-60 here in the UK. I wonder if this will be any cheaper when it hits the shelves.

"Optimized for 4K+ resolutions and 144Hz+ refresh rates"

WTH is with this bullshit??? Really??

yapchagi · Jun 23, 2015

this news was out a couple weeks ago at Computex. Still can't find this SLI anywhere on the planet.

PLAfiller · Jun 23, 2015

EVGA popped the cherry, so it's not surprising others will hop on the wagon.

Didn't you read the marketing info, they made the traces extra conductive which obviously makes it go faster. Plus it looks like a racecar.

erixx · Jun 23, 2015

They know well how frustrated consumers get when they have money to spend on whatever stupid neuronal pill that takes away the pain...

Basard · Jun 23, 2015

So, when do we get to see a review of one of these?

Indeed. FTL bridge!

looks pretty nice, but it just a bridge, so the spec will be the same behind the bling-bling cover

maybe after this we gonna have SLI bridge with Swarovski

TheGuruStud · Jun 23, 2015

I wish I could make up complete bullshit and sell it.

design is worth something, only the 'optimized' part was bs

Caring1 · Jun 24, 2015

Nvidia are still building bridges, when they should get over it and move on.
PCI-e is now!
If they want pretty colors and lights they could make interchangeable GPU shrouds.

Erm maybe to a kid, and even if the design was good the money it cost probably wont be, so that's at least 2/3 crap at best.

And that goes for ones for CF too as we don't want to look like were picking on nVidia now, they might have to call a lawyer to brush it under the carpet.

Prima.Vera · Jun 24, 2015

Look, it looks nice I admit. I would even pay for it if it were like 5 bucks or so. But when 1 of those toys costs 70 Euros....
Seriously, you need to be really stupid for paying that money for something you can get for free...
