Hi, probably it is a dumb question but I am trying to rationalize the number of PCI-E cards I can use on my motherboard.
Many intel CPUs support PCI-E 3.0 16 lanes for a total of 15.75 GB/s, right?
I have read that, currently, the GPU uses max a 8x PCI-E even when connected to a 16X, therefore they should use max 7.88 GB/s of the bandwidth.
If this is correct I will have another 7.88GB/s to allocate through the other PCI-E cards.
My question is: because the use of the bandwidth varies according to the game and the setting, how can I find an average value they use?
If I am missing something in the reasoning please explain it to me
