My curent rig:
i7 2700k @ stock
8 gb ddr3 @ 1333 mhz
Asus Maximus Gene V Z77 - my mobo has 3.0 pci but sandy is only 2.0.
1x GTX 760 MSI OC 4 GB
Samsung 32" LED 100 Mhz @ FullHd
I've put my video card in the second video slot because of my case ( Bitfenix Prodigy M, my PSU is very long and they will hit, who has it / know the case will understand, i really like the case, don't want to change it)
My questions:
1. Will i loose any gaming fps if i use the video card in the 2nd slot? in gpu-z 0.7.7 it shows it runs in 8x at 2.0 and after a few seconds it shows 1.1.
2. In the future if i upgrade, what will be my limit with no real botthleneck in the 2nd video slot?
For example/reference, what can i use now with no botteneck? GTX 780 ti ? R9 290x ? etc
3. How powerful is my 2700k at stock speeds? again what is the maximum video card / combinations that my cpu can handle? Even SLI/CF setups.
Any imput is of great help.
Thank you.
