I have an Asus Maximus VII hero with a 4790k cpu and I am trying to figure out if I am able to run SLI in 8x 8x mode and still use the lowest pcie slot for an Asus wireless card. Will that put me over the 16 lane support of my cpu or does a wireless card work differently than a GPU?
Rig:
Maximus VII hero
Intel 4790K
32 GB GSkill Areas 2133 RAM
Plextor 128 GB M.2 (not a pcie card, it's native on the board)
4X Kingston V300 240 GB ssds in raid 0
1 tb WD black hdd
gtx 970 Strix currently (looking to get 2 980s if it works)
EVGA supernova g2 750 watt gold
and the Asus PCE- AC68 DB wireless card
