NVME and 1080 TI Query

[Danmiddo]

Hi,

I've just purchased a new

MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI

It has a PCIE 4.0 and a 3.0 x16 Slot.

It also has 2 NVME Slots 4.0 and 3.0.

 

I currently have 2 x 4.0 4TB NVME drives in my NVME 4.0 and 3.0 slots.

And my GTX 1080 TI in my 4.0 x16 Slot.

 

I was wondering whether it would be better to move my GPU to the 3.0 16x slot as its a 3.0 GPU.

And put the 4.0 NVME in a PCIE adapter and put that in the 4.0 x16 slot.

 

Is my logic sound on this or am I missing something, 

Thanks

The gen 3 x16 slot is only wired for x4, so performance would suck. Don't do this.
