Hey guys, so I'm going to be building a x99 classy board. I know for sure im going to be using 2 evga titan x superclock's in sli and an m.2 ssd for the OS drive. And then probably a raid card, a pcie nvme ssd, and possibly something else.
So, I know ideally I would want the 2 titans in the top slots and thats most likely what will happen. However, I was thinking, how bad would performance be if I stuck the titans in slots 4 and 6? Since slot 5 (x4) is already disabled due to the m.2 being used I wouldn't cover up any "useful" pcie slots, where as using the titans in slot 1 and 2 I would lose access to slot 3.
So what do you guys think? How badly would performance be hindered by using slot 4 and 6 for graphics cards?
