[SOLVED] PCIE question

[jamespromiii]

Hey I recently just upgraded to a MSI MPG Z390 gaming plus mobo. Now this mobo has two PCIE 16x slots but on the specs it doesn't list which speed the 2nd one runs at if you're running SLI? Is it the full 16x? 8x? 4x? Thank you.

This is from your motherboard manual. Don't run SLI. 1 good GPU is better.

Ok then which mobo with this chipset and socket can run the full 16x in SLI?

That board doesn't actually even support sli only crossfire, sli is much more dependant on secondary gpu bandwidth bandwidth and the second x 4 slot isn't enough.

Why are you even considering sli on a new platform?? It's pretty much worthless for modern gen gaming.

Is this for gaming? If so, multi-GPU solutions are dead in 2020.

It's for designing..some light gaming.
