[SOLVED] Asus x570 Prime Pro M.2

[heavyarms003]

Currently using 2 NVME drives on a Asus Rog Strix B450 F Gaming with a Ryzen 3700x.
Top slot is a 256gb NVME Boot drive. And I know using this slot disables sata ports 5/6 on the motherboard.
I have a 1tb NVME I use for all my editing in the second slot which drops my graphics cars slot from a 4x16 to a 4x8. The performance loss for my 2070 super wasn't more than a few FPS which I can deal with.
I'm upgrading to a Asus X570 Prime Pro and a RTX 3080. Am I also going to lose sata ports on this board like my B450? And will using the second slot cause a bottle neck for
my graphics card slot with a 3080?
Im still not sure how all the PCIE Lanes and stuff works.

Manual doesn't mention loosing any SATA ports due to NVMe drives in either slot.

My x470 doesn't loose them either.
