Hey folks,
I'm on a Z87 MoBo with an 1150 Intel 4770K. I'm not trying to run Crysis at 4K 300FPS. 60-120 is good enough for me; I mostly play older games because I'm cheap. Don't ask about my hours on Skyrim, or the number of mods.
My M.2 seems doesn't seem to be living up to its potential when it is using a shared PCIe 3.0 slot; I'm not trying to reach the theoretical read/write limit, but I think the fact that this NVME M.2 drive and the Asus GTX 1070 are running on a shared PCIe 3.0 lane is crippling the performance of the NVME drive.
The question: Will plugging the GTX 1070 on a PCIe 2.0 slot degrade performance or cause bottlenecks?
I've researched this but the only answers I find are 7-8 years old. Thanks for your attention.
