The 3x (as long as you don't mean the Classified) runs it's 3 PCI-e lanes at x16, x16, x8. This is best for 2x 295s + physx, as the 295s can use that extra speed.

The LE runs it's 4 PCI-e lanes at x16, x8, x4, x8. This is best for Tri-Sli + Physx, as not even the 285 uses all x8.

Unless you are planning on going Quad-Sli, I'd say get the LE.

Classified is more geared toward OC enthusiast as it has some features that help getting a higer oc for those that want to push to the edge, other then that, there is the pci slots that Zurginator explained.

What's the best for just plain SLI?  + maybe one dedicated card for PhysX?
