Hello!

I am upgrading from my gtx 1070ti to an rtx 2080ti and I recently bought a second 970 evo plus nvme ssd which went into the slot above my GPU. I already occupied the slot beneath the designated heatsink for the first SSD and besides those two I only have an HDD so basically 3 storage modules.I have an ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-F GAMING. 

I saw a lot of posts that people say the slot above the gpu uses some pci-e slots for the nvme ssd and I was wondering if this will affect my gpu anyhow when it arrives? Because my current gpu uses 1x8 pcie and the 2080ti states 2x8 pcie.

 

I dont have a lot of insight about how this works and any input would be highly appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

if anything it will affect the performance of the ssd in the lower slot, but i think its all fine

And will I be able to get my 2080ti working or even upgrade when 3000 series comes in place?

 

And is there any way to check the speeds of the SSD to see if its working properly?
