Hi,
Regarding the A8R-MVP, if you only use 1 PCIe card (which I intend to do), even one that has Crossfire capability!, will it run at full x16 or x8?
Asus site over here is very confusing about that. What do they mean with "2 x PCI Express x16 slot for discrete graphics card" and "Support ATI CrossFire graphics cards (both at x8 mode)".
So if you run 2 cards in Crossfire mode, they will both be x8, right, but what if you only have 1 card that also has Crossfire capability? Will it also only run at x8?
Second, what do they mean with "2 x PCI Express x16 slot for discrete graphics card".
Does that mean you can have 2 cards running at x16, but not Crossfire or something? I don't understand. Also, what do they mean with the word "discrete"?!
Anybody could please explain the above a bit, especially if the 1 videocard you use has Crossfire capability, can this confuse the mobo so that it will only run at x8 or will it run at full speed x16?!
