"2 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 or dual x8, red)
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (black) *1
3 x PCIe 2.0 x1 *2"
I will be SLI'ing 2 780ti's and I want the optimal performance. So, should I put the second card i the 3.0 x8 slot (it degrades to x8 because there will be another in the first one) or the Pcie 2.0 slot x16?

Which would give me the best performance?

BY the way, is the SLI microstutter issues basically fixed? I hear a lot of people say nvidia virtually put an end to it with new drivers. Any SLIers here with a word on this?

IMO, Micro Stutter is a myth on current gen nVidia cards (Ive had 2x670, and now 2x780)...im a huge stickler for images/gameplay and was worried about it before as well.

ABSOLUTELY put your 780ti's in the two red PCI slots...3rd black displays 2.0 x4 in the spec page.

Great system friend, good luck!
