If I just install 1 900P 480 will i loose my 16x16 on my two gpus?

I know newbie question, in theory im fine but in the back of my head i dont want to loose anything

Already have a samsung, but was thinking about 900p as main boot and the samsung 2TB as an apps/games drive

You didn't list complete system details but I assume if you are running two gpu's at x16 you must have a CPU with 44 pcie lanes, you need to check your motherboard manual to see if you can add another pcie device without limiting your 2 GPU's, this may be motherboard specific is why more information is needed

Im an idiot, the 900p is a 4x card so yeah 16+16=32 +4 = 36 😛 im fine

7980 is the CPU and the RVIE

I have two 1080s, and one samsung 2TB, but I want to run the 900P which of course take a PCI-E slot 😛 I want to know I can run all three PCI Cards at their full speeds, otherwise I wont give up an ounce of my GPUs x16s

Did you check the manual for your board?

It looks to me that you can place your pcie drive in the bottom X16 slot and do what you want
