AMD Radeon HD 5870 PCI-Express Scaling

Thanks to the modular, scalable design of PCI-Express, consisting of independent data-paths called 'lanes', motherboard designers can control a limited PCI-Express lane budget, and offer multiple PCI-Express x16 slots. In mid-range motherboards, and particularly in most motherboards based on Intel's newest P55 chipset, 16 PCI-Express lanes are used to drive two PCI-Express slots with bandwidths of 8 lanes each.

I found this article very interesting so i thought i'd share.

The PCI-E 2.0 lanes in the 1156 (p55) motherboards is split between multiple cards, the difference between 2.0 16* and 2.0 8* is only 2% even with the current fastest gpu. So anyone that didn't want to get a 1156 motherboard or an Intel i7-8** for this reason doesn't have to worry, i'd say that 2% is a worthwhile trade of for a cheaper cpu+ motherboard...you could put that money into...well...another gpu :D

(this is when compared to an x58 motherboards and an i7-9** cpu, they support 2 or more PCI-E 2.0 16* lanes)

If sony want their games to be more successful on pc and to sell more they need to bring the games day-one like helldivers 2! , and not after 2 years.

If it's first party (can't speak on Helldivers) then the PS5 should be focused on first in my opinion rather than worrying about 2 versions.

Nixxes can help with the development and release the games at the same time..

First party ps5 games need to be ps5 only until 6 months imo because they need to sell consoles still and then focus on PC later.

I don't see a big deal. The sales also help future development. I'm all in.

This makes sense, just now doing it shows how behind and short-sighted regarding PC they were to begin with.

If they release it day one many will not buy a playstation anymore (me included).
