confused on the spacing here I hope I ordered the right one I have a sound card sitting in between my gtx 1080's 2x so I think pci ex slot 1 and pci ex slot 3 is where my cards are sitting the 2 slot bridge is the one I would purchase right and do the older evga pro sli v2 bridges run at the same speed as these new HB bridges ?
You would order the 0 slot. If you look at the sizing chart you see that two double width cards sit in slots 1 and 3 with 0 slots between them since card one takes up slots 1 and 2 and card 2 takes up 3 and 4.
This not correct. He said he has a card installed between the 2 video cards.
Just go by the back IO panels between the video cards. If there is 1 io panel between the cards you need a size 1, if there are 2, then you need a size 2, and so on. Each IO panel is 20mm wide.
