    Intels 9900k presentation said upto 40 pcie lanes . What am I missing ?

    I want to start by saying I am not a gamer, I am a 3d artist. I use c4d with GPU rendering and adobe after effects. I'm a professional that would love to buy quadros and xeons but that's not realistic for me, So I bought 2 x GTX 2080ti for the GPU rendering in Red Shift Adobe AE loves RAM so while I have 64gb now, and i'd like to move up to 128gb. After effects also love singles core speed. Multi core is a bonus if i ever do physical rendering. Most importantly I'm looking for a solution with no PCIe bottlenecks and getting maximum CPU power. I know threadripper is an option but I question the stability based on some friends that run this build, and it also draws a lot of power. I've always been a intel fan but i don't think the 9900k is going to have enough PCIe lanes (It advertises 44 but i don't think that's true) and the 128 GB or ram sounds sketchy aswell ...... And the choice between Basin Falls refresh vs a Entry level Xeon is a bit perplexing.. Does anyone have some recommendations or insight?

    I'm an animator .. I want to build an affordable, powerful, and up-gradable Workstation. The more GPU core's the better for RedShift GPU rendering. So Two 1070 ti's (which appear to be the best value for the amount of cores) and adding then two 1180ti when they eventually get released. The RAM is for Adobe AfterEffects (a program that loves RAM). I could live with 64 but 128 is what i'm used to. I thought the overclocked 8086 chip would be great for preview renders ...and the extra cores were nice for overnight renders. I'm having trouble figuring out the pcie lanes for a setup like this. It looks like a i9, xeon or threadripper is mandatory to run 4 cards? Any suggestions

    I need help navigating the motherboard maze. I want to build a PC with Intel 8086 chip 4 Nvidia 1070i GPU's 2m.2 970 evo Pro 1TB 64 GB ram .. eventually upgrade to 128 What motherboard can handles this? Are there going to be PCie bottlenecks? Do i need a 1600 W power supply or is that overkill?
