Are all SLI bridges the same?

[heremy8]

Ok, I'm a little peeved at newegg right now, I bought an MSI PRO-E board from them and it clearly shows in the picture it comes with an sli bridge, but it didn't, they mislabeled it when its really a crossfire bridge. So my question is I have an SLI bridge from an older Gigabyte board so will it work with this new board? I wouldn't see why not since it really doesn't have anything to do with the board, but its better to be safe than sorry! Thanks guys!

You are fine to use whatever SLI bridge you have, wont matter to the MB. The drivers for nVidia will see the cards linked and SLI capable.
