If you mean link these 2 cards with bridge, Id say no: Sli works only with cards of the same model.

You can use this card in SLi. Be sure your motherboard supports SLi and that you have a power supply capable of running two video cards in SLi along with other components you have connected.

Yes, there's plenty of room for 3-way SLI. See here http://screencast.com/t/EqNZmMzh My case has Eth and Sound cards in lower PCI ports, without them extra 2 graphic cards should go in nicely.

Yes The motherboard supports SLI, and it will work with any Two of the same model Nvidia cards.

This isn't really the place for troubleshooting, but check your motherboard -- if it is purpose built for SLI it may not handle other types of cards in both slots at the same time. Alternatively it may require additional config in the BIOS to recognize the cards as not bring graphics cards. Both of these possibilities are specific to lower end / consumer / workstation boards -- if yours is specifically a server board there may be another issue going on. Either way unless the cards are both DOA (unlikely) its probably a motherboard issue -- try contacting that manufacturer for support if you aren't able to resolve it with their manuals.

Its only a PCIe slot, so unless you are plugging into a PCIe slot, don't use it.

Yes this will work in a PCIe 2.0 slot, all 3.0 cards are backwards compatible.

Yup, actually has 3 - 2.0 x16 PCI Express Slots which will run at dual x16 (this is where your dual gtx 970 would be) or x16, x8, x8 (if you add a third card)!

the 1 x PCIe 2.0 x4 slot will be blocked but the board comes with the onboard SupremeFX Impact II so you shouldn't need an audio card. and i wouldn't do sli with this board because the second card (at least one the size of a 780 gtx or larger) will have zero airflow and the temps will be very high. http://oi59.tinypic.com/10y2b82.jpg

This can run 2 of them, just make sure your power supply is up to the task. The official manual for the MSI MPOWER MAX states: "Supports 2-Way NVIDIA® SLI Technology"Link for manual download: http://us.msi.com/service/download/manual-20911.html

Yes, you can. This MB has Multi-display support with 3 way CrossFireX and 3 way SLI, although you will loose 1 PCIe slot.

No x16/x8 in fact x8 x8 x8 x8 when you use any of the PCIE 3.0 slots. If you have the GPU in the first and only that card then you have x16 add a card to any other 3.0 slot and they all go to x8. Well, if one and two are empty you get x16 in the last two. Page 1-20 of the manual breaks down the layout configuration for cards Crossfire and SLI

Yeah. I have 2 over these guys in my workstation SLI. For a period of time I had to have one is PCIE 2.0 slot and the other in the 3.0 worked like a charm. I will note though if you want to use this for solid works or auto cad. DO NOT use the newest driver. It will crash everything. Use driver 9.18.13.697 built on 10/2/2012. I love this card, great for professional use case. Don't expect super high fps in games though. This card is strictly for workstation graphics

No, it doesn't support SLI and it was no matter for me since i use ATI Cards and the cross fire is supported.. You may check for the z87-d3h

Yes it will work fine. As a single card solution you will have a minimal performance drop compared to PCIe 3.0, but this drop will be more noticeable in SLi setups (multi-card).

There aren't any - its all handled over the pci-e lanes and software. Therefore, you don't need any crossfire cables or connectors when running 2+ cards.
