Hi,
Would populating only the 2nd PCIeX16 slot of the Asus Rog Strix Z390-e gaming with the graphic card affect perfomances in any way ?
The graphics card is Sapphire Nitro+ 5700 XT.
I found this information but it doesn't allow to understand if the mobo will treat the graphics card as a X16 or a X8 if it's plugged in the 2nd slot since it's the 2nd slot, or if it will detect that there is only one PCIe slot populated and therefore give it the full X16 bandwidth :
"The two reinforced slots share the CPU’s sixteen lanes of bandwidth via automatic x8/x8-mode switching whenever a card is detected in the second slot. Meanwhile, the third x16-length slot is fed by the PCH with only two lanes by default"
Thanks !
