iceclock :

ok bro read the second and third paragraph on this page http://www.eteknix.com/asus-z77-a-z77-motherboard-review/

iceclock · Jul 3, 2014

well some motherboards are sli or crossfire only. i got the info straight from asus doubt theyre wrong.

old_legend · Jul 3, 2014

i am saying same thing on asus site it is not mentioned that it can or cant sli while in review they said it can..

The Asus Z77-A does not support SLI. The reason is simple.

The blue PCIe lane works at x16 mode while the black one works at x4 mode. NVIDIA graphics cards requires a x8 slot to function. On the other hand, AMD graphics cards can function on x4 slots. That's why you can run a 2 way Crossfire configuration on the Z77-A but cannot do a 2 way SLI configuration.

crossfire only mate sorry

Officialy: Nvidia SLI is not supported.
...but its with official drivers

iceclock · Jul 3, 2014

romirez :

so yo'r saying sli is supported with official drivers...so everything uses official drivers not third parties..

romirez · Jul 4, 2014

There is possibility to avoid official limitations IF use modifyed drivers (no need twins videocards at all)
But its not so simple and rarely in need.

Hello,
I am new here and have no clue how this works but i have the same motherboard and just wanting to confirm that **all 3 blue slots on this motherboard are 3.0 PCIe slots?**
(even the small blue one, i was told that i be needing to use PCIe Riser to use these small blue slots before)

Thanks

romirez · Jul 24, 2018

Only 1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 mode, (Blue))
Notice: PCIe 3.0 speed is supported by Intel® 3rd generation Core™ processors
