So this is my first time setting up SLI on my PC and I currently own a Gigabyte GTX1070 Windforce Edition (here) and my motherboard is Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5 (here). I was hoping to get another same card to SLI my setup but I am worried that two of this card wouldn't fit the slots/motherboard because it looks huge. So I was wondering will the second card fit my motherboard and also will the new Nvidia HB bridge fit?


Sorry for the weird question as I don't really want to buy the card and finding out theres issue with space and such.

Thank you.

From top to bottom, here are your expansion slots. Your graphic card is a dual slot width card, which means the cooling shroud is large enough to make the next expansion slot down unavailable Two cards, in SLI on your motherboard would breakdown like so:

Green means available
Blue means in use
Red means covered/unavailable

PCI-Ex1
PCI-Ex16
PCI-Ex1
PCI-Ex1
PCI-Ex16
