Hi Guys...
A bit late to the party wiith this one but hey! My old motherboard died
Just a quick question as i'm a bit rusty with the P45 chipset...
Just bought a PCI-e 2.0 8x RAID card and installed it in the second slot (it works fine) but my GPU in slot 1 now only has 8x lanes available...
I was led to believe that it would only drop to 8x 8x mode if 2 graphics cards were installed but here I am with 8x 8x mode with only one...
This led me to think that the P45 chipset only has 16 lanes total available and the board will drop to 8x 8x mode if you put anything in the second PCI-e 16x slot.
As a result of this i am losing about 4000 3dmarks in 3D01 and I would like them back
Am I right?
