The standard flex bridge should be enough for 970s. Problems I once had with the standard bridge showed colored artifacts. And if the bridge not worked at all, then you'd get the same performance as without.Hi, I've gone and re-done the entire process again and it seems to be working better where it only losing about 20 frames compared to one GPU. Both 970s are at full load and now the SLI bridge does seem to have an effect where it crashed when not on while previously it had no effect. Could the problem be within the bridge? It is one of the flexible ones and I've had it for a for a few years.
970s are known to cause problems in SLI because of different memory types used, depending on manufacturer or even different version of the same manufacturer.
Usually such combinations refuse to show the SLI option. But since DSLIA unhides the SLI button, these problems are laid open.
I suspect in your case it's one of these problems. Maybe you can get hold of a different 970 somewhere (ideally one of the type you already have) to confirm this.
