I doubt it.. not happening with my quad core 6700k. With the 8 core 40 lane cpu you can run ea card at x16 x16 insted of x8 x8 which most will say isint a difference.

In gaming max cpu speed matters most. I believe the 8 core 6850k will run a little less then the 6800k. You would have to move up to the 6900k to get the speed up on the cores.

I think your in the sweet spot now but yeah with all that ram and getting 40 lanes with the 6850 I'd grab that and overclock it :)

what is a lane? 40? 16? 8? (shy face) lol.

That's quick access roads from the pcie slots directly to the cpu. Your 6800k has 20 lanes i believe. So with your dual graphics card working at 8 lanes ea is 16 lanes total so you have 4 lanes left for expansion for extra cards as in sound cards, nic or ssd or raid cards that use x4.

So if you had a 6850k,6900k or the crazy priced 6950k, those have 40 lanes. You could run both vga cards at x16 ea for 32 total and have 8 lanes left over or run them at 8 ea for 16 total and have 16 lanes left to use.

All that's only important if you need more lanes.. if not, your fine.

ohhhh i see!! i just checked my CPU and it offers 28lanes. so i have 2 vgas that's 16 already. leaving me with 12. i have 2 ssd cards installed and a pcie for asus 3.1 usb slot which came with the mobo....that should leave me now with 0 since ssd cards and 1 pce usb slot take 4 each right? does that mean i can no longer add ssd cards? i also have 1 hdd added of 2tb....

Were talking about actual devices I stalled on the pcie slots. Those other things like reg ssd and hdd cards plugged into the motherboard drive slots run off the chipset which don't count towards the cpu lane total.

Though that extra usb 3.0 pcie card slot would be not sure if that's just a x1 or x4 slot.

Anyways yeah.. at 28 lanes you'll have enough lanes open for some room yet to expand. Likely event would be to run a nvme ssd drive to raid with the other m.2 slot built into your board or a u.2 drive.. currently a intel 750.

So with all that said hold with the 6800k unless you feel the need for more cores as it would help with rendering video.

cool thank you!

Any updates??

Any updates??

Not much really.....going to call tuesday and find out. They did fire the kid who installed my pc and didn't thoroughly check the mobo...he then lied to me saying this next dude has the tracking# for the mobo shipment which led to that dude getting furious about it so the owner heard about this and let him go. I'm happy about that. Their deadline is November 16th. I wrote a letter to the ministry that handles consumer complaints and aware of the situation. Thanks for checking in though :)

Ok.. titanfall 2 is awesome btw. Good luck getting this all over with quick!

Free upgrade but no windows10 :( that kid lied tonme so in return the owner fired him.

Oh well can't have it all I guess! Not hard to install your own copy if you ever decide to.. just a pain of you gota back up software keys and emails and stuff.

I did hear there's a way to still get the free win10 still if wanted even after the Microsoft deline. Can look it up if interested.

I believe it's the only way to have the newest direct x 12 that newer games use.
