X99 deluxe pci-e and nvme

[kahless]

Hi, I have an x99 Deluxe and a 5930k. Currently with two Titan xp's in SLI. I would like to add an nvme drive like a 960 Evo. Both gpus run in 16x/16x. If I plug the nvme into the m.2 slot will it kick the gpus into 8x/8x?

Thanks

5930 k has 40 PCI express lines.
You can install the M2 SSD without problems.

Thanks.

This will work as a boot drive correct? I planned to use the Samsung software to clone my 840pro windows 10 drive to the 960 pro.

yes, it works as a boot drive but I advise a clean install
