I recently found the same exact gpu that i have in storage and was looking to sli bridge them to increase performance on my computer because its been struggling with newer games! Im wondering though if my motherboard supports a EVGA 2 way sli bridge, according to pc part picker it says they are compatible but looking at the manual for my mother board it says

● Supports 3-Way AMD® CrossFire™ Technology
● Supports 2-Way NVIDIA® SLI™ Technology

It doesnt say anything about evga cards so im just wondering if it matters and if ishould get a different motherboard to help this problem.

You use amd motherboard? If yes you can but if you use Intel motherboard you can't

They're nVidia cards. It's not going to specify individual brands of nVidia/AMD cards.

However, it's not likely worth the effort. SLI/Crossfire have been effectively dead for a long time and driver support has largely been abandoned. In newer games, your boost will generally be either small, nothing, or in some cases, even worse than a single card.

You would do far better to sell both and use the proceeds to buy a single, more powerful card.

Can you SLI them? Yes, your EVGA 950s use Nvidia GPUs.
However SLI support is all but dead newer games don't support it so your not going to see any real performance increase.
