We also had a SoundBlaster card in the 3 rd slot, but we moved to a Sound Blaster X4 USB sound setup, which works very well for our needs. For testing in this review, we removed the HighPoint RAID card and installed the ASUS ROG Strix 4090 OC in PCIe slot 1.īefore we started using the ASUS ROG Strix 4090 OC, we had an ASUS ROG Strix 3090 Ti which left us plenty of space after installing it in slot 1 to use the Highpoint card in slot 2. We hardly notice any difference in benchmark runs in this configuration, and it works just fine on our large Samsung NEO G9. Doing this dropped the ASUS ROG Strix 4090 OC to PCIe X16 4.0 x8. We had no choice but to install this card in PCIe slot 1 and the ASUS ROG Strix 4090 OC in PCIe slot 2. In normal everyday use, we have a HighPoint RAID card that holds 8x SSDs that we want to use. We will use Benchmate to see a read-out of the test system.īenchmate can be found here. Storage: OS Gen 4 4TB, two other 8TB SSDs for storage.
