NVME and 1080 TI Query
NVME and 1080 TI Query
Hello, your MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI comes with PCIe 4.0 and a 3.0 x16 port. You already have two 4.0 4TB NVMe drives in the 4.0 and 3.0 slots, plus a GTX 1080 Ti in the 4.0 x16 slot. You're thinking about moving your GPU to the 3.0 16x slot since it's a 3.0 GPU. That makes sense because the 3.0 slot supports higher performance GPUs. You could use a PCIe adapter to connect the 4.0 NVMe drives to the 4.0 x16 slot. Your plan seems logical and should work well.
This setup is only designed for x4 and won’t work well, which means it won’t perform properly. Avoid doing this.
