Hey guys,

would you please explain whether it be any performance drop if using Nvidias 1080 in SLI config:

a. 1080 x 16
b. 1080 x 8

vs both at x16 or both at x8.


The reason im asking it, is that if enable 2x16 i sacrifise m.2 slot while x16 x8 not. So which is thd brst choice having m.2 slot available for ssd or running sli at full performance?

Thanks!

Currently im on 6800k with asus x99 deluxe II mb.

So the only options i do have with my current config, as it supports only 28 lanes is x16 x8 with no m.2, or x8 x8 with m.2 enabled.

The x16x16 question was for my future upgrade to 6900 wich expands to 40 lanes option.
