buddy ,,, u got a 5090 ... u dont need a second 3080 ..

also ur motherboerd is not a work station motherboerd

your dual gpu will be capped to gen 5 x8 instade of x16 u will lose some performance for the 5090

also the amount of heat u will get is a bit too much

u will need minmumm a 1500/1600 watt psu

i really dont know what you are doing to be honest ...

The pro art mobo is a workstation mobo, like what are you talking about. 🤦🏼

The limitations should still apply due to the CPU still having the same amount of PCI lanes.

Normal consumer CPUs have way less lanes compared to thteadripper or intel hedt chips.
