let me explain, on following setup.. Broadwell 5775C, motherboard Asus Deluxe Z97 usb3.1 (nfc&wlc), I would like to learn and know how pcie lanes is distributed.
this motherboard have two pcie 16X 3.0 slots, and I think one 16X 2.0 slot. also, it have m.2 slot but it can work only with 2X 2.0 pcie lanes.
because of Samsung Pro 950 SSD, which require 4X 3.0 pcie lanes to get full speed, I had put it on pcie 16X 3.0 slot with Asus adapter. and it work at full speed.
there is still no dedicated Gpu, for now Iris 6200 is enough, but in time I will look to add some top dedicated Gpu.
so, when I put Gpu into another pcie 3.0 slot, it will automaticaly work as 8X 3.0, because SSD use 4 pcie lanes already from another slot, do I understand it good?
or do I have to make any adjustment in Bios?
tnx
