Does theis Motherboard run PCIe gen 3 at x16 x16 when populating it with more than 1 card? Or will it slow to x8 x8?

It will "slow" down to x8/x8.Not a dealbraker though,that's still fast enough.

Vic 40 :

Yeah. Would my water cooled 780's border on the limits of x8? Or would you need Titans or something to make x16 worth it?

I'm sorry,this board?

this actually supports x16/x16 or even x8/x8/x8/x8.
I don't think that 2x780's will be bottleneckt by the pcie slots at x8 btw.

Yeah that is it.
Does anyone know how to flash from ubs, and or boot from usb on this board?
I'm having a hell ride
