Hi, it is a bit complicated with this mainboard.
You have 1x PCIe 3.0 x16, 1x PCIe 2.0 x16 and two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots.
The two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots share the bus with the PCIe 2.0 x16 slot.
When you use all 3 slots the x16 slot is reduced to x4.
This all does not influence render performance only loading time but even x4 is fast enough to fill your GPU memory in a few seconds.
Cheers, mib
