SLI on X570

[hopgop1]

Hi,

I'm long overdue an upgrade from my Z77 setup, I'm looking to go to an X570 setup with a Ryzen 7 3700x, however I currently have a GTX 970, which is fine, but I'd like the option to SLI it in the near future if I can pick up a matching card for cheap.
The problem with this is that I'm struggling to find out whether I can SLI on a PCIe 4.0 board that has a second slot that runs at PCIe 3.0. This is the board I've been looking at but I keep finding conflicting information online as to it's support.
Can anyone confirm whether I can SLI 970s on this board, and if not link me to an X570 board that will?

Thanks,

MSI’s website states that CrossFire is supported but nothing about Nvidia’s SLI; that strongly suggests that it does not support SLI.

Here are some X570 boards that do:

Not all of the new X570 motherboards support NVIDIA NVLink or SLI. Here are some of the best that do, and that will let you connect two of NVIDIA's GPUs.

You should be able to sli just fine make sure you have the sli bridge connector before attempting to do so.

Please read first:

2-way SLI With a PCIex16 and PCIex4 Slot

I was wondering if I'd see a performance difference in games if I use a 2-way SLI with a PCIex16 and PCIex4 slots than if I use two PCIex16 slots.
