Ah thank you. Today ive learned the differences between all the types of PCIe x slots.
Now, what stops me from installing this controller in my bottom most PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot?
Will i get more bandwidth overall and be able to use more SSD's?
From my P8Z77-V LK manual:
>2xPCI Express 3.0* / 2.0 x16 slots (single at x16 or dual at x8 mode)
>1xPCI Express 2.0 x16 slot (black) (max at x4 mode, compatible with PCIe x1 and x4devices)*
>2xPCI Express 2.0 x1 slots
>2xPCI Slots
>PCI2 3.0 speed is supported by Intel 3rd generation Core processors.
>**PCIe X16_3 slot shares the bandwidth with the PCIe X1_2 slot. The default setting is x2 mode. Go to the BIOS setup to change the settings.
So from what i can gather, if i put any card in the PCIE x16 slot just below the gpu, it will drop down to x8 mode correct? Thats the slot for SLI. That sounds like itll slow down the bandwidth from the gpu..? avoid that.
The x4 card wont fit into PCIe x1 slots or PCI slots.
The x4 card should fit just fine in the 1xPCI express 2.0 x16 slot (black) just fine correct? bottom black pci slot. Would that be better for more bandwidth which leads to me being able to use more than two SATA 3 drives?
I think im starting to understand how it all works now hah.
I also currently use an i7 920. I have an Asus P6T Deluxe (LGA1366). The x58 is an enthusiast class platform with 40 PCIe lanes. So I put in a PCIe USB 3.0 card with 4 ports for $18. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011LZY20G/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also I got a SATA 3.0 PCIe controller card (will give you AHCI) for $68 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007EM7N70/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I then added 2 Samsung 850 Pro drives onto the new controller as well as a Samsung 950 M.2 SSD through a PCIe card https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018U79YQK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also added 24GB of RAM over the years.
I run an EVGA 1080FTW and game at 2460x1440. I get the following avg framerates. Witcher 3 = 57fps Trine 2 = 76fps, Starcraft 2 = 50fps, Tomb Raider 2013 = 81fps.
Personally I am wanting to replace it with an equal or better system which Skylake is NOT because it only has 16PCIe lanes to the CPU. I'm eagerly waiting for Skylake-E at around middle of 2017, that's the next big enthusiast level upgrade.
Any questions just ask.
