I'm planning on ordering a "GTX 1070 Founders Edition" later this afternoon, however I'd like to get the SLI HB Bridge along with it ahead of time, as I do plan to SLI two cards eventually. I currently have a "Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H" motherboard. I realize this is a frequent question, I'm just having difficulty figuring out which Bridge Slot size would be necessary.

Look at that motherboard again. There are 2 1x slots in between the 16x slots that are used for SLI, which means the OP needs a 3 slot bridge.

I'm also talking about the Nvidia GTX SLI HB Bridges. They're all 2-way SLI, they just have varying gap distances between PCI Express slots which is what is confusing me. They have a "guide image" of sorts on their website, but it didn't help me that much.
