I just ordered a 3 way for the two EVGA Titan Black cards I have coming. Is there any way to tell a Rev 1 from Rev 2? I ordered from Amazon :(

Four Way Bridges? I don't think that the Nvidia drivers support 4 way SLI anymore, so there is no need for a 4 way bridge. :-/ Any confirmation on this?
4 way sli is still supported, I am currently using the latest drivers (337.50) with 4 way Titans.

Titans were always capable of 4way. But 780s are not

Its supported, but problem is its been shown that 3 or 4 titans or 780 ti's really don't give any more performance over 2 regardless of resolution or number of monitors run. In fact its proven that many times performance is worse for some odd reason(Even with the latest drivers). And then you have the obvious CPU bottleneck issue.............overall its basically tossing money down the toilet in terms of performance. 2 way sli is optimal overall.

I thought I'd follow-up with my RMA experience. With my new Samsung 4k monitor this bridge would cause a flickering & crash every time I was in-game vs my regular sli bridges. After reading this forum I contacted EVGA_Chris and had a new bridge in no time.
The Rev 2 bridge caused the same issues. It happened to be the same time Nvidia released the 337.61 beta hotfix. Applying that fixed the issue with both bridges.
Please keep that in mind if you've got a shiny new monitor causing you frustrations.

Please keep that in mind if you've got a shiny new monitor causing you frustrations. So the beta drivers had fixed the screen tearing and flickering? Right now i have the 2way bridge rev.2 with my 2 Titans and upon testing with high refresh rate monitor no issues are detected, but i added 3rd card so i want to get the 3way bridge. Is it safe to say that the issues are non existed or fixed in the 3way bridge, is it fixed within the bridge itself e.g. new revised bridge or the new drivers? I don't want to get it and than RMA'd, it will cost me more for the shipment than the bridge itself. Thank you

Yeah, I also have revision 1 sli bridge, I just had it RMA'd too(I also have a high refresh rate monitor), but one of my step up cards that I just received failed, so Im thinking now that its not the bridge at all. I really gotta ask..........to anyone directly from EVGA.........What exactly is the difference with the new revision bridge? All its gotta do is connect point A with point B...........right? lol.

Sorry Ntrain96 the above statement wasn't actually mine, i got the Rev.2 bridge right of the bat and it did fix the issue for me. But what i want to know if the 3way bridge have the same issue or if it has been fixed. Can someone from EVGA shine some light on this please!

Maybe I should clarify, my monitor is a 60hz 4k Samsung panel. I can't comment on whether the 2/3 way sli pro bridge helps with high refresh monitors or not, but I can say for certain whatever they changed won't help with a 4k monitor, however it is easily remedied with Nvidia's newest beta hotfix.

OK, I just received my RMA new 2 way short SLI pro bridge.......its also the same first revision 1.0 as my old one? Should I even bother installing it? I thought I would be getting a 2.0 revision?  Update: OK, I guess there is no revision 2 for the short 2 way pro sli bridge.........guess I'll pop it in and see what happens..........

Wow I just called into EVGA for a RMA on my EVGA Pro Bridge before reading this post. I too have the Samsung monitor and was getting constant crashes. I switched to a MSI bridge I had laying around and it worked fine. So I guess the RMA won't help then? My bridge is Rev 2.0 I'm currently on drivers 337.81. I tried it with the previous beta drivers 337.50 and had the same issues.

At 4K, there is a huge jump from two 780TI's to three. You are correct that four shows no gain, even a loss sometimes, at 4k. The only time a Titan beats a 780TI at 4k is a single 780TI. BTW, I'll sell my soul to get a 4 way Pro. You'd think someone would be selling them on ebay.

I'm also experiencing the same issues with my samsung 4k monitor and dual 780's using my evga pro sli 2 way bridge causes serious artifacts and flickering and a sometimes a screen shake/judder going back to my mobo SLI bridge im having no issues what so ever, every game is running perfectly in 4k with no tearing or flicker however the aesthetics of my build have been killed by this bright orange cable SLI bridge, I'm unsure whether an RMA is worth it, will i experience the same issue?

RMA it. That's what I did. I was told the issue with 4k and these bridges have been fixed and we will receive a revised model.

I got a Samsung U28D590 4k monitor and Titan 3-Way SLI. The 3-Way EVGA-PRO Bridge causes terrible flickering. It's version 2.0. I tried the bridge which was included with my ASUS mobo (Version 2.0.2) and it now works perfectly. So be sure to get the newer version and you're good to go until they release the new version!
