No, it uses the motherboard chipset PCIe lanes. In your case it only runs at PCIe 2.0 x2 .
The GPU lanes are separate and direct with the CPU.

Thanks guys,
The specs of my MOBO has this note: * 1: The PCIe 2.0 x16 slot (PCIEX4_3) shares bandwith with PCIe 2.0 x1 slot and M.2. The default setting is Auto Mode, Which automatically optimizes the system bandwidth. If you install the PCIe 2.0 x4 device, the system will automatically detect and disable PCIe 2.0 x1 slot and M.2.
I'd really like to buy the intel 750 1.2TB pcie ssd, but my two pcie slots are occupied by my GPUs. Any other suggestion so that I can have a similar performance intel 750 ?? Thanks again

If you bought that Intel 750 SSD and put it in the bottom slot it would work, it would just disable the other PCIe slots and the M.2 slot, but would have no effect on the 2 GPU slots as those are connected directly to the CPU.
This would also run faster than any M.2 drive you could install since it would run at x4 and the M.2 slot on that board is only x2.

Still not worth it. That last slot is PCIE 2.0 like the M.2 and it will limit the 750, albeit not as severly as the m.2 slot.
A total waste of money, seeing as PCIE SSD, even at full speed, hardly justify their price premium over SATA in normal desktop usage scenarios(you are not running a heavy database server, compiling and/or transferring huge files all day, are you, OP?)

I have to agree the Intel 750 is hardly cost efficient whatsoever to begin with and if you aren't using a PCIe3.0x4 slot it just plain isn't worth it.

You aren't going to get a better Z97 motherboard.
To get the full benefit you would need to go X99 or Z170 which of course would mean new processor and memory. Not worth it.
Get yourself a Samsung 850 PRO and be done with it.

This MOBO solve my problem?
MSI Z97 GAMING 7
Expansion slots:
3 PCIe 3.0 x16 via CPU (x16 / x0 / x0, x8 / x8 / x0, x8 / x4 / x4)
4 PCIe 2.0 x1 via Z97 Express
In my case: GPU 1 x8 / x4 2 GPU / SSD PCIe x4
I would have the maximum performance in my pcie ssd? I'd be running it with pcie 3.0 x4

No that would not work, SLI requires x8 slots to function, Crossfire works on x4.
Also even if it did work thats a big drag on card bandwidth.

SLI might have Impact on M2 SSD Performance due to thermal throttling, just to answer the thread title: https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Samsung-950-Pro-M-2-Throttling-Analysis-776/

OP, to simplify things, forget about changing MB as it's really nto worth it. PCIE SSDs are awesome in benchmarks and whatnot but just don't bring enough added value to justify their price. Capacity, on teh other hand, does. So just get a 2TB Samsung 850 EVO for your money.
