One is certified and will work with multi-GPUs in an SLI configuration. The non-sli board won't support SLI.

What do you mean "sli plus mobos"

So long as the board is certified and SLI compatible then you can do SLI

I think you're talking about the "MSI SLI Plus" motherboards?

If so, that's just used by MSI to say their boards are SLI compatible and make it easier to identify.

Just because it doesn't have SLI in the name doesn't mean it's not SLI compatible, you just have to check on the manufacturers site to make sure before hand if you want to run SLI.

That’s not possible. It doesn’t have to have SLI in the name to have SLI compatibility tho

That's an F in the profile pic

You pay more for something you may or may not use.

Example: B350 and x370 for ryzen - overclock the same but the x370 can run SLI while the B350 can't
