Hi I have a few questions since a while I have built a server do streaming corporate shows.
Specs:
-CPU: i7 7800x 28 lanes
-RAM: 32 gb ram
-GPU: 1070ti gtx 16 lanes
-Mobo: x299 msi tomahawk
-Blackmagic Decklink duo (4 sdi inputs) 4 lanes
-NVME SSD 500gb
-M.2 intel wifi 6 ax
Now I want to add an intel x550 dual nic 10gbe pcie card (4 lanes). I'm also thinking of adding another pcie capture card with 4 sdi inputs. But I'm not sure what will happen with the CPU lanes. Because I need this for my profession. The stability and performance are key.
Is my NVME drive or/and my wifi m.2 card taking up lanes?
If i count i have 16 GPU + 4 Capture card + 4 10gbe = 24 lanes. So i have 4 lanes left for an extra capture card? if i don't need to count in any lanes for my NVME and M.2 wifi chips.
I hope somebody could help my find some answers to this question.
This is the info i find in my manual of my motherboard. Would this mean if i install something in the 8 lane pcie slot that my GPU would switch to 8 lanes?
Thanks guys,
