You would put 4 Samsung 850 Evo M.2's in software RAID0 for games, right? Do you not know how to configure RAID0 on a pci-e card from BIOS before even installing an OS? Of course not, you're retarded.

sure, go for it.

Charles Harris
>guy with more money than games
Christian Collins
games run from memory tho
Nolan Gray
>not running gaymes solely in the processor registers
It's 2017 senpai.
Lincoln Miller
What sort of risc monstrosity you're using that allow to load full games to the registers?
Aiden Cox
>850 evo
i wouldn't. because the 960 Pro's are faster than the 850's
Cameron Phillips
someone post that guy who put eight 4TB hard drives in RAID0 and lost all his anime
Anthony Thomas
got you senpai
Jaxon Hill
>960 Pro
Isn't that the one that locks up with 100% disk usage?
Andrew Gray
>using M.2's on a PCIe instead of dedicated PCIe SSD
Nice "performance" m8
John Murphy
Unless you're running a server board with multiple CPUs, the ultimate limiter is the CPU itself. Even Threadripper can be maxed with multiple drives.

not sure what you're getting at
Adrian Wright
Games are at least 100GB nowadays.
Evan Taylor
really? i don't play many new games
Kevin Perez
Forza 7, DOOM, GTA V, Titanfall, and Star Citizen are all pretty huge.
Final Fantasy XV is gonna be gigantic iirc.
Benjamin Martinez

Ryan Perez
Yes, RAID0 with software RAID on several M.2 SSDs will max the CPU far before an actual PCIe SSD would.
Nolan Williams
>this amount of effort for a video game
just buy a fucking playstation or an xbox. Hardcore PC gamers remind me of the sorts of people who tune up NERF guns, or modify vans.

gross

Trash.

OP here. Assuming there are enough PCI lanes offered by the motherboard and CPU, this card says it's running x8. Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm not wrong, but PCI-e 3.0 has more than enough bandwidth to cover a couple GPUs in SLI/Crossfire, maybe even an actual PCI-e SSD and this guy fully loaded with 4x SSDs. Just a hypothetical situation I'm talking about here.
Again, the ASUS card originally posted takes up 8 lanes. The only bottlenecks would be CPUs and chipsets that don't offer enough PCI lanes.
