Using the secondary pcie slot as the primary

[user1453]

The pcie lane config on the dfi nf4 sli dr is controlled by a series of jumpers


is it possible to set the jumpers fo thet the bottom x16 slot gets 16 lanes?

no mate, 16+2 or 8+8. what do you want to use 16x for just out of interest?

[user1453]

in my cast the top x16 slot is jammed up very close to the top os the expansion area therfore I can't fit the dvi>d-sub adaptor in very easily

[Clunk]

using either slot at 8x wont give you any prformance drop on your graphics, but i found that my pci soundcard didnt play nice when they were both set to 8x but with 1x card in.

I was under the belief that nvidia drives mandated that there be an nvidia gpu in the primary slot

Can't you get a short adapter lead? that should allow you to do it without having to move slots?

I can shoehorn an ati adaptor in it's just a pain

[Clunk]

you can use your graphics card in either slot
