Maximus V Extreme + 2600K + 4 way sli...Riddle me this

[Kal-EL]

SooOooOOoooo.

2600k has 16 native pcie lanes
MVE has 16 PLX enabled lanes
= 32 lanes

GPU1 x 16 @ 3.0
GPU2 x 8 @ 2.0
GPU3 x 8 @ 3.0
GPU4 x 8 @ 3.0
= 40 lanes.

+ SSD 1TB OS
+ Spinner 2TB storage

Onboard Sound.

Original Nvidia Titan X driver release 347.88 = 150fps ultra BF4 in 3 monitor Surround.

Newer drivers = Directx Crash/shitty frames/Occasional pwnage performance

Original win 7 install from the 90's. ( :P )

PCIE lane math not adding up for me. Comments?

I see resource sharing on IRQ 17 which explain functionality but sheesh, performance is up. Random thoughts.

:wtf:

[Witchdoctor]

I think the 2600K is still viable for most, however pushing quad Titan's may be above its pay grade


personally I would be looking at some 6 to 8 core luvin :)

[Kal-EL]

I'm headed that way. Depends on Skylake offerings.
