RTX 5060 at PCIe 5.0X8
RTX 5060 at PCIe 5.0X8
I’m starting to organize my new PC build. Since I don’t play games, I’m not worried about CPU or GPU frame rates. My main tasks involve using MS Office, Adobe Photoshop and InDesign, and I also rely on Dragon Naturally Speaking. The system will be an SFF design. Previously, I used Asus Phoenix RTX 3080 graphics in this setup. Now Zotac is releasing the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5060 SOLO, which is comparable to the Asus Phoenix.
I’ve noticed that the Nvidia RTX 5060 runs at PCIe 5.0 X8 instead of X16. Many motherboard manufacturers recommend checking their compatibility details because installing two (2) m.2 NVME PCIe 5.0X4 SSDs can cause the PCIe slot typically used for GPUs to switch from X16 to X8.
Is it correct that if I installed two (2) m.2 NVME SSDs at PCIe 5.0X4, and the PCIe 5.0X16 slot changes to X8, the RTX 5060 would still function at full PCIe 5.0X8 without issues?
