Note that none of the PCIe interfaces on Strix Halo are larger than x4. The intent is to allow multiple NVMe drives and a Wi-Fi card. We also used PCIe for 5Gbit Ethernet.



Love what you're doing, I'm in batch 4!

Feedback: That 4x slot looks like it's closed on the end. Can we get an open-ended slot there instead so we can choose to install cards with longer interfaces? That's often a useful fallback.


Hi Nirav! Long time admirer.

Gen 4 x4 or gen 5 x4? I saw that gen 5 x4 results in maybe a 3% decrease in 5090 performance compared to gen 5 x16.


Gen 4 x4. That’s a limitation of Ryzen AI Max.


Thank you! Even gen 4 x4 doesn't look too bad, just a 6% drop at 4k with a 5090.

I realize pairing this with a 5090 is a bit ridiculous, but... is it?

That really depends on the use case, does it not?
