I can’t seem to find a clear answer on this anywhere-
On the Maximus Z690 Extreme, do two PCI-E 4.0 x4 slots on the ROG DIMM slots share bandwidth? As in, could you theoretically saturate both (if the CPU allowed it) and get the equivalent of PCI-E 4 8x or would the combined speed cap out at PCI-E 4 4x?
I thought the Z690 supported 3 PCIE 4.0 x4 slots, which I assumed was m2_3 + the two ROG DIMM slots. But I’ve also heard the DIMM slots share bandwidth. Perhaps that was older chipsets though?

Hello and welcome,
The DIMM.2 is wired to 8x PCIE lanes from the chipset.
