Msi X570 Meg Ace
I don't have it yet. No I just wanted a few questions answered please as I want a futureproof board that I can run 4 slot sli on. I was looking into the manual and read something about the pcie slots that concerned me and wanted to check it. That's just an overview of motherboard but on the other image it says that the 2nd pice 16x is 8x. Well I didn't even though that existed. I just want to know if I can get full performance out of both cards in 4 slot sli. This may be 2 2080ti s. I have a nice catch. I want to run 2 m2 ssds as well. I will leave a link or pdf of the guide because I cant make sense of all of the numbers too well. Thanks for any help. E7C35v1.1.pdf
Quad SLI isn't useful at all, dual SLI is almost obsolete. All X570 boards handle this. With four lanes from the CPU and four from the chipset dedicated to it, it functions just fine. If you mean traditional SLI, it works similarly, so it's generally okay.
From the motherboard specs, your setup will consistently operate at an 8x factor. Only with one GPU does it reach 16x performance for that GPU. Currently, even the 2080 Ti doesn’t require 16x bus. The extra 16x bus would provide more power without overloading the system constantly. With a third-generation CPU, you shouldn’t run into issues unless you adjust settings or update your BIOS.
The 4-way slip isn’t available anymore. Two-way is the only option most systems support today, and that’s why many boards reach their limits. The latest example I know of is the MSD Godlike, which at least allows 4-way crossfire. Could you clarify how 4-way slip functions with three slots?
Thank you for your assistance. Just to clarify, you were referring to the 4-slot wide Ali bridge.
This platform features 3 slot-wide connections, unlike the 4 available options.
