processors/
3rd Generation AMD Ryzen™ with
Radeon™ Graphics processors:
- 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, supporting PCIe 3.0 and running at x16 (PCIEX16)
- 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, supporting PCIe 3.0 and running at x8 (PCIEX8)
* For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed,
be sure to install it in the PCIEX16 slot.
* The PCIEX8 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX16 slot. When using the 3rd
Generation AMD Ryzen™ processors/2nd Generation AMD Ryzen™ processors/3rd
Generation AMD Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Graphics processors, the PCIEX16 slot
operates at up to x8 mode, the PCIEX16 slot operates at up to x8 mode.
