Looking for a Ryzen guru that knows how the PCI-E lanes are distributed.
Background:
I am looking at doing a ryzen 1700 build with ROG B350-F board and trying to decide whether to get a 960 evo or 850 evo M2. I know that many say you don't see much speed difference but at $27 difference on Amazon might as well.
Not that it makes a difference but I also plan on upgrading from my 750 ti to a 1060 for this build.
If I understand correctly on the Ryzen PCI-3.0 bus I can have x8 for GPU at the primary x16 slot, x4 at secondary x16 slot available to me, x4 for NVME; and then still have all x4 lanes of the board's PCI-E 2.0 bus. Is that correct?
If not, then by getting an 850 evo and having it pull the bandwidth from SATA instead of PCI-E will I then still have x4 open PCI 3.0 lanes and x4 PCI 2.0 lanes avaliable for expansion (using x8 for GPU)?
