Hi, I own a ASRock Z97 Extreme 6. I have been generously donated a Ultra M.2 (PCIe Gen3 x4) SSD, which I am awaiting to install. I am super excited to get this bad boy up and running.
However the point I would like to raise is a theoretical question I am not able to get my head around.
1) The M.2 in question uses the x16 PCIe lane and will drop the GPU to x8. I am not to fussed about this.
2) I have the opportunity to XrossFire my GPU (not a biggy for me yet).
So when you pair GPU it drops to 2 x8, but with the addition of the M.2, will it drop further (e.g x4) or will it happily truck along at 2x8.
