Unless i missed it in the manually. Which slots would 2 way SLI use?
It is strange that there isn't even a second 16x option. This might kill my plans to upgrade to the dark (from gaming 9)
14. PCI-E Slot x16/x8
15. PCI-E Slot x8
16. PCI-E Slot x8/x4
17. PCI-E Slot x4

PCIe Lane Distribution (Core™ i9-79xx, 44 Lane Processors)
PCIe Lane Distribution (Core™ i9-79xx, 44 Lane Processors)
PE1 – x16 (Gen3, x16 lanes from CPU, x8 shared with PE2) PE2 – x16 (Gen3, x8 lanes from CPU, shares 8 of PE1’s 16 lanes)
PE3 – x16 (Gen3, x8 lanes from CPU, shares 8 of PE4’s 16 lanes)
PE4 – x16 (Gen3, x16 lanes from CPU, x8 shared with PE3) PE5 – x4 (Gen3, x4 lanes from PCH)
PE6 – x16 (Gen3, x8 lanes from CPU or x4 from PCH based on configuration)
o When populated by a video card x8 Gen3 lanes are allocated from the CPU
o When populated by a card using x4 or x1 lanes, and M.2 80mm slot is populated PE6 receives x4 lanes from the PCH

PCIe Lane Distribution (Core™ i7-78xx, 28 Lane Processors)
PE1 – x16 (Gen3, x16 lanes from CPU, x8 shared with PE2)
PE2 – x16 (Gen3, x8 lanes from CPU, shares 8 of PE1’s 16 lanes)
PE3 – x16 (Not functional on 28 lane processors)
PE4 – x16 (Gen3, x8 lanes from CPU)
PE5 – x4 (Gen3, x4 lanes from PCH)
PE6 – x16 (Gen3, x4 lanes from PCH)
o Must be enabled in BIOS, which disables M.2 80mm
