I´m running 2x1080GTX FE with 2 ribbon bridges provided by my motherboard, I play games at 2560x1440 @ 144Hz Gsync On, the change to a HB bridge will be only cosmetic, nothing will be improved?
 
Tks

All the statistics so far point to the 2 ribbon bridges not negatively  impacting game performance at 2560x1440.

I see...so the only advantage of SLI HB will be above 4k?

It looks that way, based on benchmarks so far. That said, cards in SLI will push sli traffic onto the PCI bus if they are overloaded, so I will get a HB bridge to mitigate that possibility as well as to future proof my configuration.

Same here, I´m gonna buy right now on Amazon.com one EVGA 2 slot HB bridge, it´ll look pretty nice glowing in Red on my NZXT Phantom 530 and it is also future proof as you said, the cons is just the price, to receive in Brazil I need to expend about 100 US dollars for a 40 buck item LOL 

From what I heard the HB bridge won't increase FPS really at all..   maybe 1% faster.     The biggest advantage for the HB bridge is with reduced stuttering.     With regular SLI bridge it's common to get micro-stuttering.    Nvidia mentioned this in the 1080 reveal the HB bridge would reduce stuttering especially at 4K resolutions.
