Hello people numbered 0-7.5Billion
If I was was to use a motherboard with a PLX chip and run 3x R9 290x's in tri-fire. Would the CPU(i5 4670k) bottleneck? Or is there any advantage to go with more native PCI lanes on the X79&X99?
The reason is that I may wish to run x3 R9's to satisfy my recently reactivated ego however I do not wish to jump to X99 because this would involve me changing motherboard, CPU and Ram(Absurdly expensive DDR4 as of late). Whereas currently I would only need to change the motherboard if the PLX was viable.
