PCIe support. Is an RTX 2060 capable of fitting a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot?
Your motherboard supports two PCIe 2.0 slots, one with an RTX 2060 graphics card and the other available for a NVMe SSD. Checking bandwidth in the PCIe 2.0 lane should suffice for both devices, but ensure the SSD fits properly and consider SATA if you prioritize speed over PCIe capacity.
It seems you're dealing with a setup that likely has two PCIe slots, each supporting 16 lanes. It's possible the second slot is physically 16 lanes but only uses 4 or 8 lanes electrically. When you insert a card, both slots might be reduced to 18 lanes because the lanes are divided between them. I'd say a RTX 2060 could feel a bit limited with PCIe 2.0, but it might only become noticeable at higher resolutions such as 38x1440p or 4K.
