Hi and Happy New Year everybody!
I kinda need your help guys.
I own an ASUS Z270F Motherboard paired with an Intel I7 7700K (which provides only 16 PCIE lanes).
According to user manual, the motherboard got the 3 following PCIE slots:
2 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 or dual x8)
1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (max at x4 mode)
4 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x1
The first of the 2 PCIe 3.0 x16 slot is in use by nVidia GTX 1070.
I'm planning to install an Intel 900P PCI Express Add-In-Card HHHL (480GB) which needs x4 PCI-Express lanes.
I'd like to know if the installation of the Intel 900P in the x4 mode slot will cut half of the videocard bandwidth provided by the PCIE CPU lanes.
I explain myself better. Will the SSD perform with the PCIE lanes of the chipset, or will it 'eat' some bandwidth from my videocard?
Thanks in advance for your help.
