This is probably obvious to everyone else/I'm just stupid etc but is there going to be a 3-way bridge?

I think it's not possible because you need both slots on the GPU for high bandwidth but you can still use the old bridge for a 3/4 way with low bandwidth and not supported by NVidia and most likely not in future from the ground up games.

I did actually look around (sorry been outta the PC modding game for awhile now) and yeah nvidia is no longer supporting 3/4-way sli going forward. However, I'm still curious because this is the only bridge that has color changing which is what a lot of people have been looking for consdering how long we've been waiting for a slick looking SLI bridge. Do these not work with pre 1000 series cards?

I don't know about the lights, I hope it does but even with both sides of the data connected it should.  I have used two sli bridge across two GPUs before and had no issues, I had some old evga hard bridges and I wanted to fill in the other slot to remove the void.

Not a 3-way high Bandwidth Bridge, afaik.
 
You're aware that nvidia is trying to discourage 3 and 4 way sli in favor of higher performance 2-way?

Can I temporarily use my EVGA sli bridge I already have for my 980 Ti's?  How much performance hit will I take if so.

It depends on your resolution. At 1080p you won't notice any performance hit as far as I know. Some of the lighted SLI bridges give the same transfer rate.

I have the lighted one and I am typically running 3440x1440 but sometimes play in 4k and 2560x1440 as well.  Primarily the Ultrawide though.

well it should work temporarily just some slightly reduced performance in certain resolutions until you get the HB bridge.

So I just noticed something, when looking at gpu-z it shows this:

 
Notice how it says high-bandwidth on the SLI section. I do not have a HB sli bridge. What I have is one of the older style EVGA Pro 2-way sli bridges (http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX47593)
 
I also noticed that even in the control panel it doesn't mention that a higher performance sli bridge could improve my experience. Any one know why it says that it is high-bandwidth?

Don't know if asked already. Which bridge for SLi on Asus X99 Deluxe. Using slots 1 and 3 of course. Thanks.
