Spec'ing a new system, and looking at the 9900k. (with appropriate mobo ofc)
I see the coffee lake only have 16 pcie channels. Which should be find for a 2080ti.
However I also like to run a sound card, which would consume another 8 lanes. This would drop the 2080ti down to x8 vs x16 right?
I can't seem to find any review that show the impact on the 9900 with adding additional PCIe consumers to a build. Anyone have any good links or data to support an argument?
The alternative is to jump to a skylake with a considerable cost increase. (Nothing wrong with AMD, just have a ton of friends at Intel, so trying to support)
Thanks in advance.
