Hey all, i've been looking into this site alot and have been able to find answers for nearly everything I would've had to ask, but for this issue there's something I think needs a more specific asking.
Here's the situation, i've got a PC that's got a SLI mobo, and i've got two EVGA GTX 470's that i'm going to link up using a SLI bridge. Unfortunately I didn't get a bridge with my PC (as I put in the 2nd GTX 470 on my own from another computer) So when looking into getting a bridge, my buddy gave me this MSI SLI bridge:
http://www.zmaxtech.com/14120-0a.html
Now from that site it says it's a SLI bridge, my buddy assures me that he got it with a SLI mobo he purchased and some other friends of mine said it should work as it's packaged with a SLI board (I don't know the board specifically)
The only problem that concerns me is that plainly on the bridge is says "MSI Multi-GPU Cross Fire Video Link Card"
So mainly what I need to know is whether or not this will work properly as it should, as a SLI Bridge, or if I put it on, will it just do nothing in terms of performance increase?
Also, note that the bridge does fit perfectly and snugly on the cards.
Any help or input is appreciated and thank you in advance.
