Subject: Single GPU on Extreme 7+ question
Posted: 15 Apr 2016 at 11:13pm
Hey all!
Long story short, due to my water cooling system, I have my single 780ti in the second slot down on my current x58 mother board. Both the PCIE slots are x16 and it boots the GPU off the second PCIE slot just fine. Performance was identical between the top and lower PCIE slot (I tested)
It is strictly for tubing aesthetics . The GPU just looks better then NOT in the top slot and offers more slack with my tubing.
I will be using this GPU in my new Extreme 7+ board.
Is ONLY the top slot X16? Will it boot and use the single GPU if I use the next PCIE slot down? Same performance?
Thanks!!
