PCI is a bus, so all the lanes are in principle available to all the devices that are connected to it, some wired in and some via slots, (some devices won't use all the lanes but that's beside the point). Since there is a limited number of physical slots for devices to plug into, if the Nvidia card is using the only one that would be the explanation. poc -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
