Quote from: annadinelix on December 23, 2024, 15:35:22I only use one GPU and have never run out of lanes. Block Blast  people don't need dual GPU features. Plus, high-end boards have enough PCIe lanes but are too expensive. The mainstream is still a reasonable choice for most people.

It would be good for the industry if these boards were more expandable. But "good enough for me" sets the limits of imagination.

This is all just surface. There are not enough lanes on consumer boards. If there were more lanes/better slot layouts, you could have all these features. But when it comes to actually significant features, like running multiple GPUs for local LLMs, you are out of luck.
