GA X58A-UD3R Can I use pciex slot 16_2 for just one vid card?
Any difference from slot 1?

The instructions say for Optimum use slot 1 but its in a bad
place.

Thx

Hi there,

the simple answer is yes, you can use the 2nd slot.

You will need to go into the BIOS and set the machine to boot up from the PCIe 2 slot first for the graphics card.
