EVGA E760 X58 SLi 3x
I'm wondering whether it matters which PCI slot the graphics cards go in...
I know from the documentation that PCI slot 2 (the first PCIex16 slot) is usually used for the primary GPU, with the SLi linked card going into PCI slot 5 (since on the E760, this is the only other x16 lane slot)...
But what I'm wondering... is can I put JUST ONE VIDEO CARD TOTAL into say, PCI slot 3 (which has a maximum of x8 lanes) and will this function?
I would just try it, but I'm trying to purchase a card, so...
Anyone know?
