New Z490 MOBOs available now!
Exploring Newegg and the latest Z490 motherboards caught my attention. I noticed a MOBO that claims to handle quad SLI, yet it only offers three PCIe slots. Shouldn't there be an additional slot? Appreciate the help! https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813157926
Likely a typo from copying something else, similar to the Intel board with an "SOC." It’s hard to fit three cards in SLI or Crossfire on that setup unless everything was running at full speed. Probably only two at max, not three.
