Question about the P5K

ArcAneTSGK · 5 Feb 2008 at 21:51

Does this Asus P5K motherboard have 2x [16x speed PCI-E Lanes?] or just 1x [16X PCI-E lane] because it does not say in the descriptions.

1 operates at x16 and the other operates at x4

So is it worth crossfiring in this board, how much will it effect the scaling performance if one of them is 4x. All comments are much appriciated. Thanks Gurusan for your quick reply.

i thin both lanes x16 only in x38 and x48 mobs

Ok, can't really afford a x38 atm, but what would be more worth doing. Getting rid of my 3870 and getting an Nvidia GTS or GTX, or Crossfiring another 3870. All comments appreciated.

Swapping the 3870 for a 8800GTS 512mb would be a nice upgrade...also you won't have to deal with the hassles of a dual-gpu solution.
