Hello, Just watched the latest video from Linus regarding sli and pcie lanes, great videos as usual but it got me wondering about my plans. Here is my question regarding a dedicated Physx card and a dedicated graphics card; Would the Physx card be alright to run in a PCIE 2.0 x4 Slot? Just bought a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 mobo where I had intended to run two gtx 960's nvdia cards in SLI in the x16 slots and put an older gtx 660 in the x4 slot for Physx calculations. Anybody see this going wrong with a FX-9370 or FX-9590? I'm doing a piece meal upgrade, starting with the mobo as my current is quite old. I intended to upgrade my mobo then my video card (gtx 670 died, limping on a broken gtx 570, getting a gtx 660 till the 960's are released) and afterwards I'd drop in either the FX-9370 or the FX-9590 to replace my aging phenom 2 x6 1090t. Eventually they're likely to launch the 960's and I'd like to run those in sli. Should I just save myself some problems and get a 970/980 and run the 660 as the dedicated card in the other x16 slot? Hope to hear from somebody, thanks, ger

I want one of these so badly it makes m'face ache from doing the me gusta face.
