Hello,
I just got myself an Auzentech Forte but i have a question regarding the PCI-express slots.
This is what's on my motherboard:
PCI-e 16x: HD4870
PCI-e 1x: Empty
PCI-e 1x: Empty
PCI-e 16x: Auzentech Forte
I read this in the manual:
- When using two PCIE x16 slots, the PCIE x16 lanes will auto arrange from x16/ x0 to x8 x8.
And this on the site:
• Two PCI Express 16X slots with 1x16 and 1x4 operations (PCI Express Bus SPEC V1.0a compliant; supports CrossFire Technology) So which one is it :confused:
Does that also count for Sound cards, or only when Crossfire?
And is there a program that can read the transfer rate of the GPU?
In other words: does my GPU run on 16x and my soundcard on 4x (or 1x ?)
Or does my GPU run at 8x?
Since my motherboard has the Soutbridge on par with the PCI-e 1x slots, i can't put the Forte there since it's to long.
My new motherboard have the PCI-e 1x slot placed on a different place so then the problem is solved.
But in the meantime..
