The 5820 does not have enough pcie lanes to run 3 Nvidia cards at the same time, I don't believe the configuration you are looking to run is an option for you. You could try the bottom slot but I don't thin it will work

the 5820K is a 28 lane CPU there four is capable of 3 way SLI

right now i have on the config 16X on the first GPU and 8X on the second one

on pci express gen 3 8X to 16X is irrelevant on todays gpu´s

cheers

You can use the middle red PCIe lane. 5820K users do not have access to the last PCIe lane.

As a sidenote, if you populate the second PCIe lane, your GPUs will drop from x16/x8 to x8/x8.

The 5820K has enough lanes to run x8/x8/x8, yes? Configure your slots as x8 (not x16) in the EUFI/BIOS.

Although I think your x16/x8 780Ti cards might give more fps overall without the 750Ti PhysX onboard. Their specs are too mismatched, that wimpy old 750Ti would hold you down more than it would help out. Unless you play the few game titles which lean very heavily on PhysX.

iirc if you plug the cards as per manual it will auto configure.

2 cards: goes to to 1st and 3rd red slot for x16/x8 config
3 cards: goes to first 3 red slots for x8/x8/x8 automatically

I investigated using an old card (570) with SLI 680s and SLI Titans once....found it no help or an actual decrease in performance since the old card did not run PhysX as well as the new cards and in SLI it was rarely the case that the second card was so loaded it needed help running PhysX.

Guess It will depend on how close to the limit you are pushing the 780tis

As has been said last slot is not an option so slot between SLI would be needed and then the airflow compromise etc might make this a fairly useless enterprise.

Sell the card and put the money towards watercooling for the GPUs would be the best performance increase 😉
