So its been 6 years since my last pc build. A lot has changed since, including me finding out nvidia no longer supports SLI. Which sucks cause 3080 are impossible to get still and i got 2 x 980TI i use to run on my old motherboard. I already i5-11600k and was looking at mobos on PcPicker. I was confused when it only offered 2 compatible mobo and they were z490s. I went to new egg and found a bunch of z590 lga 1200 mobo so i was wondering why PcPicker was filtering everything out. Turns out it was because i have SLI gpu setup and I didnt know most newer motherboard no longer offer SLI. After doing some research into this I think its still possible to do SLI as long as the board has a minium of 2 x8 pcie slots. Which most baord has 2 x16. The one im looking at has 1 x16 pcie 4.0 and 1 x16 pcie 3.0 and 1 x4 pcie 3.0. Would thay work for a SLI setup + nvme m.2 SSD? The i5 11600k support 20 pcie lanes so x8 + x8 for the 2 gpu and +4 for the m.2 SSD. I honestly dont know enough about how pcie bus lanes work. So if someone could confirm that the setup can work, that would be great.
