Your motherboard comes with a high bandwidth SLI bridge. There is no reason to get another one as performance will be the same.

By the way, SLI is dead and I would advise not to waste your money. I have run 1080ti's in SLI and when scaling is good it is around 30%. But most games dont support SLI and you will get zero or negative scaling. I found that I had SLI off most of the time.

Additionally, the monitor will be your bottleneck. The 1080ti can manage 4k/60hz for the vast majority of games, so unless you are planning on spending $2k on a 144hz/4k panel, there is no reason to go SLI.

Seriously I wouldn't run SLI since many games don't properly support it and I've done it before and it was a real pain in the butt. Also, what kind of monitor setup are you running that you think you need SLI 1080ti's? Unless you are running 4k 144hz or 8k a single 1080ti will run it just fine.

Driving more monitors does not require a second card. The problem simply is that multi gpu is dead nowadays. Barely any game still supports it and the few that do rarely go over a 30% performance increase. A lot of games simply crash when sli is on or have issues so it's really not something you want anymore.
