First of all YES! I know I shouldn't have bought the i7 7740X CPU!!!!! I was short on money and figured I would upgrade later. Which I still plan to do. But yes. It was a big mistake!
But for the moment I have 2 GPUs installed and an M.2 Drive. My usage is showing my primary GPU at x8, the secondary GPU at x4 and of course my M.2 Drive is using 4 PCI lanes.
I want to know if I can add an extra one or two more GPUs. I've gotten interested in mining crypto and just want to know if it's possible with the current 7740X. If I add a third GPU will my first one drop to x4? and I would have all 3 GPUs at x4? And if I added a 4th one would the M.2 Drive switch to using PCI lanes off the x299 chip set?
I have the manual for my Tiachi X299. The actual SKU information off Newegg is: ASRock X299 Taichi LGA 2066 Intel X299 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard
But I am having difficulting finding information about my question.
Thank you so much in advance to anyone who can help me understand these PCIe lanes.
I'd love to just drop an 8-core or 12-core CPU into it right now!
