ir_cow Posted August 17, 2019 I ran two 1080 Tis on 8x PCIE 2.0. Seemed to only lose a few thousand points depending on the project WU. You can look at GPU-Z and see in real-time the bandwidth being used. So I am going to say, no noticeable difference from 16x to 8X. If you have PCIE 3.0, than you don't have to worry at all.

wildman2 Posted October 11, 2019 Welp I found the box of boxes that had the power supply box in it yesterday. The 1060 is up and running FAH and doesn't seem to be affecting ppd of titan xp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ir_cow Posted October 11, 2019 It shouldn't. You only need 1 cpu core per WU. Bandwidth of pcie 2.0 8x is enough. Glad it works for you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
