I have 2 GTX 970s (Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming and the EVGA GTX 970 SC 2.0) and am trying to run them in SLI on my MSI Z170A SLI Plus motherboard. But it is not working.

The SLI bridge came with my motherboard

On GPU-Z it says:
GTX 970 (Gigabyte) PCI-Express x16 3.0 @ x8 3.0
GTX 970 (EVGA) PCI-Express x16 3.0 @ x2 1.1

I noticed that the @ x2 1.1 also had to be x8 but I don't know how to do it.
