Question about ASUS ROG-NVLINK-3

Does anyone know exactly which NVLINK (3 or 4) I need for a ROG Maximus XI Extreme? I find it hard to see what the gap is between the two cards if you don't have the motherboard yet.

Which type of NVLink you need does not depend on the mainboard, but on the position of the two graphics cards.
If there is one theoretical / real slot free between your graphics cards, you need an NVLink-3, if there are two theoretical / real slots free between your graphics cards, you need an NVLink-4.
The numbers 3 and 4 stand for the number of slots they bridge (graphics card slots included).

I would also guess the 4

Well, the mainboard only has 3 slots, and only 2 of them are possible for Nvidia cards in SLI, as far as I know. I guess the top two are reserved for that. Well, thanks for trying, but I still don't know 100% which NVlink I should buy. Probably the 3.
