Need help with Z97 PC Mate Dedicated PPU Setup?

[Gwest1992]

I've currently got a TP-Link wireless adapter in my pci-e 2.0 x1 slot and a gtx750Ti in the pci-e 3.0 x16 slot. I've checked in gpu-z and its running at the correct 3.0 x16 speeds, however; i'm soon going to be putting a gtx970 in there and moving the gtx750ti down a slot into the pci-e 2.0 x16 slot as a dedicated PPU. I've found this info on my mobo..

"1 x CPU ¦ 4 x DIMM 240-pin ¦ 1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 ( x16 mode (x4 mode if PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot is occupied) ) ¦ 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 ( x16 mode (x4 mode if PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot is occupied) ) ¦ 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 ¦ 2 x PCI."

I understand this mobo supports crossfire and not sli, but if i use the pci-e 2.0 x16 for my gtx750 ti as a PPU what speeds will i be getting ??? X16 still or X4? I'm assuming they mean a crossfire setup xD. If you can help, Thankyou.

What mother board do you have?

The name of the motherboard is right there in the title.. MSI Z97 PC Mate

Why do you need a dedicated PPU by the way?

@RFCProd Your right I dont necessarily need a dediacted PPU, my z97 board only has crossfire compatability but im upgrading to a nvidia 970 in a couple weeks ? seemed pointless to have an empty slot when i can cram a 750ti in there for PhyX with no ill effects. im only gna be playing @ 1080p so the card will prob only be used for benchmark results.

The 750 Ti as a PPU will have very little use. Better off selling the graphics card while you save for another GTX 970.
