![]() In theory these would be your possible PCIe lane configurations: 2x16 or 4x8 PCIe x16 and 8x1, 1x4. The chipset allows you to utilize two full x16 graphics cards, or even four graphics cards as they would run at x8 PCIe links. The 990FX has many PCIe links available for your dedicated graphics (or other add-in cards). It is the primary chip responsible for these functions, the FX (opposed to GX) extension however indicates that there is no IGP embedded into this ASIC, which the GX versions do have. The Northbridge chip primarily functions as a control HUB for your processor, memory and PCIe links to your graphics chipset. Together they form the infrastructure for all standard devices, connectivity and interconnect bandwidth. The Northbridge chip, which is called the 990FX and the paired (Southbridge chip) SB950. The chipset consists of two chips that are added onto the motherboard PCB. ![]() To understand the 990FX chipset from AMD, aimed at the more enthusiast PC user, all we need to do is simply tell you a thing or two about its features.
