So I somehow was able to get a 3070 FE at MSRP yesterday in the best buy drop*** and its going into my SM550.
One thing that I remember hearing awhile back were issues with PCIe-4.0 cards and 3.0 riser cables (specifically with 4.0 mobos). I have done some searching and it seems that in some cases you will simply have to switch the PCIe compatibility to 3.0 which is no issue. My concern is that some reports have been that you will not even be able to post to the bios via a PCIe-3.0 riser cable if you have a 4.0 card and a 4.0 mobo and its set to auto or defaulted 4.0 compatibility.
So my question is there anyone out there in this community that can tell me what the current situation is with this combo (Asus X570-I w/ latest-ish bios, 3070, and a 3.0 riser cable)? If I have to reset my bios will I have to tear my build apart to connect the GPU directly?
Thanks everyone!
***Small plug for Brobot 8080 if you are looking for a card, fastest alerts I have used by far.
