You don't have to take out three slots. The half slot part is of the plastic of the cooler. The bracket is only two slots.

Im looking to get a Palit GTX 1070 Jetstream but it takes up 2.5 slots, Being as I will have to take out 3 slots wont it look kind of wierd with a half a slot gap between the card and the next slot?
