Flexible SLI Bridge

Flexible ones are not high-bandwidth ones though. Comes into play at higher resolutions.

How come the spacing is so uneven? There are SLI bridges for 2, 3 and 4 slot spacings. PCI Express slot distances are standardized.

I am not planning to play at anything higher than 1080p I just want more FPS. And in terms of spacing one GPU is further out than the other so I cant put a solid bridge on

idk tbh

I was wondering due to their different spacing if I can buy a Flexible SLI Bridge?

Yes and use 2x flex bridge in order to minimize the damage of not using a HB Bridge.

 

Also, hold your breath and prepare for the Anti-SLI Inquisition that is about to commence ;-)

Find two. I'm being serious that you need to use 2x and even then people report a bit worse experience than HB (fps similar but HB feels smoother).

If you look at your cards you will see that the SLI slots have 2 connectors. An HB bridge is already a double sided but flex bridges are narrow and single sided. You just connect them one next to each other.
