second PCIE for video card only runs at 4x max

[Rekta1981]

would it be worth putting in another video card if my motherboard will only run it at 4x mode just curious the one i have is Asus Z170-p here my other specs the only PCIE runs at the normaly 16x

GTX 950 FTW ACX 2.0
16 GB of G-Skill ram at 2133
I5 6500 CPU
Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD
1 TB Western digital hard
SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze 620W

A PCIe slot running at 4x would cripple the performance of another GPU.

For what purpose is the second video card? If its to run a second monitor for like video or other applications while you game on the 950 sure you'd never know the difference.

However your GTX 950 should have enough ports to run 2 monitors and do that as well, so why bother.

Yea it's what I thought I'm actually needing to upgrade my GTX 950 it's just nvidia graphic card prices our all over the place right now I wasn't on running dual 950 I'm pretty sure youan't run them in sli mode anyways

You can't run them in SLI correct. Sometimes people want to run a gaming card and like a Quadro for professional work. I wouldn't recommend that should with a crippled slot like that. I've even seen people run a Nvidia in one slot and AMD in the other, don't know why but same thing if you're trying to game on it you're crippling yourself.
