I'm wanting to stick another 970 in my budget xeon build, but there's no mention of SLI support anywhere in the mo-bo's manual.
My 970's currently in PCIE 5 slot, ideally I want cards in the 5 and 2 slots so there's a good air gap between them, but I read something about a performance drop if you have cards on different PCIE root complexes.
I think 5 and 2 use different CPU's , does anyone know if this root complex rule applies...or even if I can run 2 cards on this board ? I've attached images from the manual, if I'm reading it right I have to use slots 4 and 2.
Machine is used mainly for 3ds Max / Vray and rendering.
Is anyone running this board in SLI without issue ?
