PCIe bandwidth
![](https://www.meetgadget.com/image.php?t=avatar&id=1683&img=avatar.jpg&v=tmb&name=)
I have two PCIe slots, one primary and one "slave". When I put two VGA cards they run at 8x+8x. My question is, if I put PCIe soundcard (1x or 4x) what will be the bandwidth distribution?
Display mode:
If your motherboard is with x58 chipset it surely runs at full 16 lanes because total of 36 lanes are available. Otherwise I think it runs at 8x only if its in CrossFire or SLI.
