Solution
From photos of the R3 it looks to be a M-ATX motherboard with a single PCIE 16x slot with a 1x below it, so you cannot do SLI because the second card has no proper slot to use.
Edit: I also found photos of some with 2 PCIE slots, however without opening it up and looking it is hard to tell from random photos without motherboard you have.
