Hi There,

Just wondering which SLI bridge I need? I want to use 2 EVGA GTX 1080 FTW 2's on an Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Aura board.. Here is EVGA's product page with their SLI bridges: http://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=14
They come in 0, 1, and 2 slot spacing. Also which one is better, the HD or the PRO one? Thanks!

Look at your motherboard. How much space is between the front of the top card and the back of the 2nd card?

Can you find a picture of the motherboard you're looking to buy?

You'll need the 2- or 1-slot most likely.
