Conflicts/Sharing

Just because conflicts and sharing is put together, doesn't mean that they all are conflicts. Those look to me like shares. E.g M.2 NVMe port does share PCI-E lanes with your GPU, RTX 4080.

Assume that won't matter if it shares?

Sharing is caring.

E.g if you were to install two SATA SSDs in your PC, you'd also get notification that these two SATA drives are sharing MoBo chipset PCI-E lanes. Last i checked, it wasn't an issue when installing more than one SATA drive into the system. Or installing M.2 NVMe alongside dedicated GPU.

In fact, in my main rig, Skylake (full specs with pics in my sig), i have dedicated GPU, 2x M.2 NVMe SSDs and two SATA SSDs, among other hardware. All of them are sharing CPU and MoBo chipset resources and are working fine.

So, no, hardware sharing resources isn't an issue. This is how it is supposed to work.
