Hello, I got a b760m pro rs and I was wondering if I could hook up a 9060xt with a rx 580 8gb as my frame gen card, I've been trying to do research on my own but I'm unsure. my mobo has a pcie 5 x16 and a pcie 3 x16 (but I'm pretty sure its only like x4, so Idk if the 2nd gpu would be fast enough/worth it)

Unsure about motherboard support

Second slot is 3.0 x4

#

and would that be fine?

But I just got a m.2 slot adapter to run at 4.0/x4 and it’s leagues better than 3.0/x4

#

Also my precious slot was on the chipset vs being on the CPU where it is now. That also helps a lot

#

as for frame rate, I’d be looking towards getting around 144-165fps max

I’m running 3080 / rx6600 as secondary and a 3400x1440 panel.

#

So my issue at 3.0 was when I wanted to do other things like watching twitch or streaming on discord to friends. It would lag my LSFG because it was too much I guess

#

And my aim is 68/136 no HDR

#

now on 4.0/x4 I can easily do all of the above and hit 114/228 if I want to and not notice any stutter in my games.

#

I would either use the m.2 slot if you have one available. I have one linked to my cpu that’s 4.0/x4. or just get a dual x8 motherboard

#

Its just that my 1tb m2 (and only one atm) is connected to that m2 slot thats directly connected to the cpu

#

So I’d have take it apart and put it in another place for what doesnt seem too significant

#

If you do have a 4.0/x4 even if it’s on chipset I would try it

#

If it feels good for you then that should be enough

#

nvm, the rx 580 is a pcie 3.0

#

the 4.0 4x is not going to do anything for it

#

since its going to translate to 3.0 x4 anyways

#

oh well

#

Thanks for the input though👍

#

I mean based on the chart, you should be fine at 1080p

Would prob have to zoom in lol
