Graphics card and soundcard PCIE problem?

deza41 · Oct 20, 2014

Hay guys,

I got a R9 290 on the Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H and it has two PCIE slots with one running at 16x and the other running at 4x and I was wondering if I throw in a asus xonar STX will it force my 16x slot to run at 4x?

Thanks for your time.

No, your card will run at x16, and sound card will run at x1. PCIe lanes for CPU is different from PCIe lanes provided by MoBo.

So long as the graphics card is installed in the #1 X16 slot it should not cause any issues if you install a soundcard in the #2 PCIe X16 slot. The device in the second slot will only run at normal speed but the #1 slot should not be affected.
