Z390 Aorus Master (NVLink Question)

[killingthaime]

Hey All!

I have recently purchased a Z390 Aorus Master Mobo and I plan on putting 2 GeForce RTX 2080 cards in it. Unfortunately I am not sure what NVLink (3 or 4 slot) I'm going to need to pair the cards.

The top two PCI slots look further away from each other than the bottom two.

If anyone knows what NVLink I'm going to need, I'd greatly appreciate the knowledge.

Thank You very much!

The motherboard comes with an SLI bridge. Not sure if you were wanting something more fancy instead

Hey popatim, thanks for replying. I'm gonna be using the new rtx cards and I know an NVLink data transfer is way faster than an sli bridge. I just wasn't sure what NVLink I needed to make it work. But I think I figured it out. If I plan on using the top two PCI slots I'm gonna need a 3 slot, and if I was to use the top and bottom slot which makes no sense...lol, I'd need a 4 slot nvlink.

But thank you for your reply.
