Hello,
 
Just wondering with the X299 Dark if I'll be needing a 3 or 4 slot NVLink to SLI 2 2080Ti FTW3
 
Thanks!

    Depends on what slots you are going to use, I take it your looking to do a setup that does 16x for both cards correct?

    What Slots Numbers on your EVGA X299 Dark Motherboard do you plan on using?

    On the X299 Dark, especially if you are using the new 2.75 slot EVGA cards, we recommend the 4 slot bridge.

    Considering you are using the same slots as the OP for 16x then you use the bridge you have
     
    Look at the diagrams in this link - https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2868919
     
    Your old 2 lot 1080 HB bridge uses the same spacing as the new 4 slot NVLink bridge for the 2080 series cards

    As EVGATech_RayH stated, 4 slot. The numbering scheme of the nvlink changed, so nvlink and HB bridge numbers are different.

    He jumped into a thread where the OP has an 2080ti FTW3 and asked about what bridge for an 1080ti and then stated he already had a 2 slot HB bridge for them

    Definitely didn’t realize this post was in the wrong section. Maybe a mod can move the posts over to the long list of 1000 series HB Slot bridges that already has the answer repeatedly posted lol.

    My Vote is to Lock this Thread.
    A simple Support Ticket would have given the Org OP his answer.
