It sounds to me that it’s really targeted for music production and like, where you have a whole bunch of interfaces to connect like pads, keyboards, mixers, etc. In that case you don’t really need a lot of PCIe slots. We don’t really use PCIe for audio interfaces anymore since USB has gotten so fast.
That makes sense. I’m just sore because I had to upgrade to a somewhat unstable X870E board to get 4 slots for my main GPU, capture card, storage controller, and secondary GPU.
Video editing. I record 4k, 10-bit, 4:2:2 chroma subsampling, and the first nvidia consumer GPU that supports decoding that in hardware is the 5000-series. I have a 4090 and no desire to jump to a 5090. Swapping from a 7800X3D on a B650 board to a 9950X3D on an X870E and chucking an Arc A380 on there for encode/decode cost less than half of a 5090.

We’re still doing secondary GPUs? What do you use it for? I haven’t done SLI since my GTX660Ti’s.

VR sim racing. So, so many USB devices.
Oh yeah, good call. Or Star Citizen / MSFS sim pits.
