Asus's new Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti SSD mostly looks and behaves like a typical mid-range Ada Lovelace graphics card. However, its embedded M.2. port leverages the...
i thought it would work liek this
without ssd on gpu
slot 1: gpu (uses 8x lanes)
slot 2: dual ssd bifurcation card (4x lanes per ssd)
total 2 nvme ssd in 2 slots
with ssd on gpu
slot 1: gpu + ssd (4x lanes each)
slot 2: dual ssd bifurcation card (4x lanes per ssd)
total 3 nvme in 2 slots
assuming that the gpu only needs 4x lanes of pcie 5.0
you get an extra ssd in this scenario which would not be possible without a GPU that natively does PCIE 5.0 at 4x.
Nope, if you use the second 16x slot the first only gets 8 lanes due to bifurcation, so no GPU SSD. If on the other hand we got 4x pcie5 GPUs this would make sense. Sadly there are no PCIe gen 5 GPUs yet, so they all use more gen 4 lanes.
It doesn’t give you an extra, unless you have an itx board as it just takes the 8 lanes from the second 16x slot and feeds 4x of them to the SSD.
