Hi, I'm trying to determine the right motherboard for your setup. You have a Ryzen 7 5800X and need a MATX build that supports an X8 GPU and a capture card requiring 8 PCIe lanes. I understand the ASUS TUF B550 uses PCI 4.0 x16, but I'm curious if it can be adapted to handle two x8 lanes each in separate PCIe slots. Can you help me find the appropriate option?

Yes, but I need to use a decklink. The image quality from an external capture card differs from a decklink, and external cards lack four inputs (also the software performs better with Blackmagic).

ASRock produces a reliable motherboard with 1x16 at 4.0 and 1x16 at 3.0 speeds. It appears similar models from other makers exist, so it seems like the design is consistent across brands.
