hello, i have a question about nvidia dual GPU's like the GTX 690. i am currently using one GPU in a PCI-E x8 slot cause my x16 slot is damaged, if i use for example GTX 690, since its dual GPU, will work then in my x8 slot? i assume the GPU's will run in x4 speed for each one?
 
Solution
In order to build a SLI-capable system, you need the following:
A motherboard with at least two free PCIe x16 slots, operating in at least in x8 mode (Nvidia does not support SLI on x4 links). ...
Two (or more) identical Nvidia-based cards that support SLI, or a dual-GPU card like the GeForce GTX 690 or Titan Z.
