Question Trying to figure out what sli I need for my mb and my two gpu's

[Mike-MC]

This is my mb model

GIGABYTE Z370P D3 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

The one sli I got doesn't work. It's to long. It's a two slot. So ordered a one slot. If that don't work. Anyone know which one I need? Thank you

If your system is for gaming, don't bother with an SLI setup. The specifications page lists your board as having support for crossfire only. Which means that you don't have 8 lanes per PCIe x16 slot when two cards are populated.

Support for AMD Quad-GPU CrossFireX™ and 2-Way AMD CrossFire™ technologies

GIGABYTE Z370P D3 - doesn't support SLI.

Here's a list of 8th/9th motherboards that support SLI.

Yours support AMD CF but not SLI.

So this second GPU is pretty much useless then I suppose?

So I assume this second GPU won't work for my rig? Would I need another mb? For it to work?

This is for gaming, yes? Yes, you would need another motherboard. But multi-GPU is dying anyway, not worth getting a new mobo just for SLI.

Considering how you have failed to mention what GPU you are talking about, let's assume it won't work and let's also assume that you need another motherboard.

It's the gtx 1070's

Okay, definitely going to be cheaper to get a motherboard that supports SLi than replace them.
