I'm building a new PC with a single GTX Titan. To ensure future upgrading I was looking for a motherboard that supported PCIe dual x16. I must admit I have no clue if a GTX Titan SLI on x16/x16 performs noticeable better than a on x8/x8 but given the 6 GB ram I'd rather be safe than sorry.
I was about to order the ASUS P8Z77 WS based on its specification on their website.
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z77_WS/#specifications
But according to its manual page 2-7. It only supports SLI in x8/x8
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1155/P8Z77-WS/Manual&QVL/e7150_p8z77_ws.pdf
So is this a typo either in the specs or in the manual or am I simply not understanding something about how graphic cards work in PCIe 3.0 SLI?
