Running SLi without the bridge?

As well as support for NVIDIA’s new board, ForceWare 77.72 includes some interesting features from an SLI standpoint, most notably the introduction of support for ‘vanilla’ GeForce 6600 boards. As any of you who have seen such a board will testify, these cards come without the SLI bridge connector which will be familiar to most of you. On top of this, NVIDIA have also stated that devices can now be run in SLI without using this bridge connector, albeit with reduced performance.

It’s actually impressive that not *that* much performance is lost. Most people will use a bridge regardless, but it’s an interesting article, so check it out here.
