The question is fairly simple, but the answer has thus far eluded me.
The build:
This is a multi-purpose build, I do games (and occasionally my kid streams on Twitch to help the rescue), my day to day business (dog rescue) dealings, and my actual work stuff (medical equipment repair) on it as well.
With this build I'm currently able to run all three displays concurrently as I want to do - with my games running on the 4k display - and my games are ok, but tend to run a bit slow at times (I expected this with the 1050ti). I'm going to be purchasing an Asus GTX ROG Strix 1080ti GTX on this coming Thursday.
My question is can I repurpose the 1050ti in the bottom-most PCI-e (4x) slot of the crosshair mobo, and still keep the 16x on the main slot and dedicate the 1080ti to the 4k display and my games, and use the 1050ti for the two AOC's for general work that I also use this rig for?
The build:
■ AMD Ryzen 7 2700x - Not OC'd
■ Asus Crosshair VII Hero
■ G-Skill Trident Z 3200 RGB Memory - 32Gb
■ Asus Phoenix 1050ti GTX (getting a 1080ti next Thursday)
■ 2x Corsair 250Gb SSD - Raid0 - 500Gb OS drive (and any other programs that don't let me move them to the genpurp drive)
■ 1x Samsung 970 Evo 500Gb m.2 SSd - Games drive - On the dedicated PCI-e lane so video card PCIe lane stays at 16x
■ 3x Hitachi 2Tb NAS Platter HDDs - Raid0 - 6Tb General Purpose Drive
■ 20Gb dedicated partition for Windows swap (if it needs it) on the genpurp drive
■ 2x AOC 2450 displays
■ 1x 45" 4k Haier display above the dual AOCs
