ASRock H97M Pro4 Question
A quick question to increase knowledge.
The ASROck H97M Pro4 has 1 PCIe 3.0 x16, 1 PCIe 2.0 x16 and 2 PCI.
The website says the mobo is able to take up to Quad SLI/Crossfire.
If i ever wanted to do SLI or Crossfire , and i put a GPU on both of the X16 , would i experience something like "the second x16 dropping to x8" or both of them dropping to x8?
and example if i wanted to take an AMD R9 290X on the first x16 ( its the pcie 3.0 ) slot , can i put an nVidia's GPU on the second x16 slot as a dedicated physX card?
This board does not support SLI, it does support crossfire.
Having a card in x8 will not bottleneck it at all with current generation's GPUs.
AMD GPU along with a Nvidia GPU will just work. Altough a dedicated PhysX card is not worth it ( in my opinion ).
