If im running 2-Way SLI in a Maximus V Extreme in slot 1 and 2b (for native SLI configuration) would i order the 3-way SLI bridge?
 
Don't have MOBO yet as it has not arrived. just want to make sure i order the right one.
 
Thanks

You want the 2 slot bridge part number ending in 21, since it's SLI with one slot spacing.  If you use the 3 slot bridge, you'll have to either put the second card in slot 2 with no spacing or all the way down to the fourth red slot with double slot spacing, and either one of those means you'll be running on the PLX bridge chip, which IMHO has something worse than the latency it adds...if you actually use the PLX bridge, it heats up a lot, can get over 60C on my system, and that's a case with excellent cooling and stock Nvidia Titan-style blower fans.  Gets worse if you're using ACX coolers, since there's even more heat dump inside the case.
 
TL;DR: Use the black slot and learn to live with the skinnier pro bridge (or order two!), or use any combo of red slots, add heat, drop performance, but get a better looking bridge. 

could my sli 3-way be defective?  when running 3 770 sc cards, I get a tearing effect???  that is, the bottom 1/4 of the screen looks like it needs Tracking, like a old school VHS
 
when I switch it out w/ a regular EVGA 3-way, the effect goes away; however, the characters in my game, Metro Last Light, move really s-l-o-w......
 
thnx for your help,  kjl

oh, my system is: 
 
4820 proc
Big Bang Xpower II
3x 770 gtx sc
1500w sliverstone psu
16gb of 2133mhz patriot limited ed.
xfi titanium champ. sound

JJ1042
Just got mine from UPS today!
 

 

Which one did u get? The 40mm one or the 60mm one? Need to know as i have the same motherboard.
 
Thanks in advance!

I do not believe any of the ax classified versions light up. I wished they did Bc I owned the 770acx classified then 780 ect. Finally the 780TI super c'c and since this one is just green led I knew it would. But if ur ? Is to the bridge yes the bridge only. GL

My 2 Way Single Slot Spacing Bridge !

Is there a rough idea as to when these might be back in stock?  

I purchased a 3way evga sli and now the geforce gtx logos on my video cards ( 3 titan ) won't light up....any ideas

Which of these badboys do I need for a Maximus V Formula board?
