Hi all, I hope I can get a definate answer for this but I am thoroughly confused.
I am upgrading to 2 x EVGA GTX 1070 founders editions and would like to couple them with a high banwidth SLI bridge. Now because I am so finicky I really want to get an EVGA HBSLI bridge (http://www.evga.com/Products/productlist.aspx?type=14&family=SLI+Bridge&chipset=HB+Bridge)
Now this is my issue. I have no clue what size of sli bridge I require. I am currently running 2 MSI GTX 970 armour OC edition cards on one of the flexable SLI bridges and have been for a while. I have an ASUS Rog Maximus VIII Ranger board (https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/MAXIMUS-VIII-RANGER/overview/) and will be placing the two new cards into the first and second PCI-Express lanes (Obviously as othervise SLI wont work) but I need to know for that SLI bridge, what size do I need?
Any ideas are greatly appriceated
Thanks
Chris

No, it has 1 slot spacing, look carefully, between 1st pcie slot and second pcie slot there a 2 slot gap, making the card a double slot that means it will remain a 1 slot gap.

OP get the 1 slot bridge, also click on the iamge and scrool down you will see a more detailed diagram which to buy.

EDIT: Here i edited the image now you can see clearly that is 1 slot bridge
