hoofhearted4 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 so a gfx card can be put into any pci slot? just im assuming x16 is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Yes 16x is recommended, make sure to put them side by side so the sli bridge can reach the other card, all sli motherbaords have them close enough so it'll reach perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor. Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I highly recommend it, i almost thought of buying it, i need a motherboard update. running out of pci slots, can't put anything else in my case so far, the only thing i have left is a single pci e slot.
