Wich intel cpu support 2x pcie x16

[moha20106]

Hi all, im working on media server operator

I have to build new PC with 2 GPUs without SLI to maximize the output ports (2x 1070ti or 1080ti)

In this case, all ports will work with full performance for rendering 

I need your help for :

1- what is the Intel processors support 2x pcie x16 lanes? 

(i7 or i9)

 

2- what is the motherboard support 2x pcie x16 lanes, 2x pcie x4 lanes (for Blackmagic capture cards) + at least 1x nvme slot

 

please support with answers maybe i have misunderstand

 

thanks

X299 i9s, X99 except the 6800k and 5820k, X79 except the 3000 series

 

Tho I dont think dropping to X8 makes any difference.

I don't think you need the full pci-e x16 for rendering. You'll probably fine with 2 x8

 

Easiest would be to go with a Threadripper... you know for sure you get 60 lanes so lots of pci-e x16 slots.

 

 

If it must be Intel, I'd look into Socket 2011-3 and socket 2066 processors if you really need lots of lanes

 

socket 2011 - 40 lanes:

Intel Core i7-6900K - CM8067102056010 / BX80671I76900K / BXC80671I76900K

Intel Core i7-6850K - CM8067102056100 / BX80671I76850K / BXC80671I76850K

Intel Core i7-5930K - CM8064801548338 / BX80648I75930K

socket 2066 - 44 lanes

Intel Core i7-9800X - CD8067304126100 / BX80673I79800X / BXC80673I79800X

Thanks dear for your reply

Yes, my work need at least 6 displays connected, 1080p each

Sometimes 2160p each

 

Please explain What you mean :

(X299 i9s, X99 except the 6800k and 5820k, X79 except the 3000 series)

Also why not Z series for motherboards?

What is best motherboard for the threadripper 1920x processor?

 

Do you think the i9 9900x will help?

If yes, what is the best mobo for it?

[mariushm]

Practically ANY threadripper motherboard will work, they're built well.

 

I'd go with

319$ standard atx

ASRock X399 Taichi sTR4 AMD X399 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813157785

4 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 Slots (PCIE1/PCIE2/PCIE4/PCIE5:

single at x16 (PCIE1);

dual at x16 (PCIE1) / x16 (PCIE4);

triple at x16 (PCIE1) / x8 (PCIE2) / x16 (PCIE4);

quad at x16 (PCIE1) / x8 (PCIE2) / x16 (PCIE4) / x8 (PCIE5))*
 

PCI Express x1

1 x PCI Express 2.0 x1 Slot

360$ like asrock taichi but also has 10g ethernet  and 2 X 1 gbps and wifi

ASRock Fatal1ty X399 Professional Gaming sTR4 AMD X399 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard

299$ e-atx

ASUS PRIME X399-A sTR4 AMD X399 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 Extended ATX AMD Motherboard

4 x PCIe 3.0 x16 (single@x16, dual@x16/x16, triple@x16/x16/x8 mode)

1 x PCIe 2.0 x4 (max at x4 mode)

1 x PCIe 2.0 x1

well ok so you know next to nothing

what kind of rendering? the desktop or an actual media piece with raytracing, color tunings, special effects etc?

rendering a desktop screen (2D) is so easy, even something like a GTX 1050 hooked up to 4 4K 60Hz displays isn't enough load for it to reach full frequency (let alone GPU usage). This is not a valid reason to get even mid range GPUs. All you need from them is newer display output standards, which is related to age but not speed.

X299 X99 and X79 are chipset names, i9 is a series of CPU, 3000 series refers to 3820, 3930k and 3960x (because they support PCIe 2.0 max)

Z chipset boards work with consumer grade CPUs with only 16 lanes available for PCIe slots directly.
