Hello,
I'm currently building an x570 system which will use the following 3 PCIe cards:
Nvidia A4000 (PCIE 4.0 x16)
Aja Kona 5 (PCIE 3.0 x8)
Aja Kona 5 (PCIE 3.0 x8)
The motherboard I will be using is the following (Asus ProArt X570-Creator WiFi): https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/ProArt/ProArt-X570-CREATOR-WIFI/
I don't see a problem with the first 2 cards, but I'm wondering if the 3rd card will work as well?
Given that PCIE 4.0 is twice the bandwidth of PCIE 3.0, from a bandwidth perspective everything should work.
The motherboard itself lists the following about its PCIE slots:
Will I be able to get all 3 PCIE cards to work, or can I assume that the 2nd PCIE 3.0 x8 can't fit in a PCIE 4.0 x4 (in a x16 size)?
Thank you for all your help,
Nelson
