    [SOLVED] Setting PCIE slot to gen 3 instead of gen 4

    In the UEFI you can set the GPU's PCIE lane version on what version you want it, my question is if you set the lane to.....let's say version 3.0, will the lane of the NVME drives also change to that version?

    When I add a second, identical 2080ti graphics card and Nvlink to my Asrock z390 system, the cards show up in x16/x4 mode, not x8/x8 mode as expected, so I get no SLI. The only other thing I have installed on the motherboard is an .M2 SSD which I've tried in two different slots. I've tried...
