Any GTX 1080's without the second slot display outs?

[The Elder Smurf]

I am looking for a second GTX 1080 to throw in SLI (because of how cheap they are right now used) and my main issue is I can't find one that doesn't eat the second slot with one display out (usually the obsolete DVI). Obviously I will be putting a waterblock on the card or this wouldn't matter anyways. This is a must because I have a capture card and a USB card that I also need to have in the system and by putting the second GPU in I would have to block one of the x1 ports because of a stupid DVI connector. So does anyone know of any or am I stuck with 1 gpu until I switch cards entirely?

If you cant find one, I guess you can do this:

the only single slot 10 series cards i know of is the katana series from galax and i think they only make a 1070 katana, otherwise you can remove the DVI port with some time and a soldering iron then just trim the bracket to one slot height and make sure your waterblocks clear

Buy a better board or get a riser for one of the other cards. 

 

Im always down for some modding but I try to avoid stuff like that.  

 

Gettinf rhe right card will be quite difficult.

i mean the hardest part is clamping down the pcie bracket securely while youre cutting through the thickest part of it

It would be a lot easier to get a custom bracket made based on the top half of the outline by someone with a basic CNC, considering its like a .5x4 inch piece of metal, it shouldn't be hard or expensive to get something cut.
