Issue is platform most intel motherboards with bifurification only allow 2x8 so you couldnt use 2 m.2's and the GPU Now in AM5 and AM4 tho its abnormal not to see 1x8/2x4 as an option as you can actually split down to 4x4 without a performance hit and even down to 16 individual lanes with minimal hit but requires bios support for it

While this is really just a space-saving measure, there is also the possibility that this _kind_ of design could better utilize something like Direct Storage for the sake of tighter timings and fewer bottlenecks. I'd really like to see this kind of concept pushed further to see what kind of gains we could get from it. Maybe we could see a day where all games saved on SSDs attached to GPUs have literally zero load times. It's still a good concept on its own without this, though. With PCIe generations continuing to double in bandwidth every two years or so, it will probably become unnecessary for even flagship video cards to use the full 16 lanes. So it makes a lot of sense to split lanes and put fifth-gen SSDs or higher on a device already designed with beefy cooling. Otherwise both the GPU and SSD coolers are gonna be fighting over the same real estate on the motherboard.

Some boards only have one or two NVME slots, so this is nice to add storage without upgrading the board. Also on my board if I wanted to access my 2 NVME SSDs i'd have to remove my GPU (they are below it). The only accessible one with the GPU in is the third m2 slot. Moving the card isn't a big deal, but if all 3 slots are occupied, you can't add more unless you use a SATA SSD. So the option to pop in another NVME is a nice feature: i'd rather have functionality like this than more RGB for example.

The supposed price point pretty much kills it at current SSD prices though. If you're paying a hundred bucks extra just for this feature, you can either just replace your previous SSD with one with more capacity at the cost difference, or you can get a motherboard with one more slot instead. If it's more of a protoype for future cards that don't come with such a price premium, then sure.

@Der8auer, the fact that the card runs gen4 and the ssd runs gen5 is no surprise. The slot is gen5, but the card doesnt handle that so it just runs gen4. The pcie controller doesnt know the difference as backwards compatibility is so baked in 'it just works'. I noticed this on older systems many years ago with gen2 and gen3 before being able to select the generation in bios was s more common thing, the same happens with lane distribution, using a pcie x1 wifi card in a x16 slot has no issues other than its kind of a waste of realestate, the pcie controller just automatically adjusts accordingly. I am always amazed at how seamless pcie adjusts according to the situation compared to other connectivity technologies out there that require so much hand-holding to get it to work across different generations and bandwidth

The other idea just sounds great if you can support the funky bifurcation profile, but maybe that could be done with an IC of some kind, preferably not a switch though.

This means that you can just as EASY install a M.2 into Second PCIe slot [shared with GPU] using 10-20$ adapter They charge extra 80-100$ for nothing, for a passtrought PCIE port, it has no chips, nothing of value that costs this money. if this card had a controller chip that would let the M.2 use the PCIe bandwidth of the GPU without enabling bifurcation, then it would of been a good product Right now its only value is if you have miniATX board, so it doesn't have a second shared slot and you win this way extra M.2 slot but the board still has to support bifurcation and there is a chance that board that has just single PCie slot wont support such function

If you were using it on an older setup with no nvme slot it would make sense but then you also likely do not have the option to split up lanes. It does seem the best case is in itx with a GPU using x8 (orx12 of possible) that has performance bouncing off the pcie 5 limit and then sharing the extra 4 lanes to an nvme or has 2 slots on an x8 that splits x8/x4/x4

In this case personally I'd leave the card in quiet mode, but ONLY use that drive to store games. That way when your gaming and the video card heats up, and the fans kick in it also cools your game drive.

The problem of small memory on GPUs are such serious that Nvidia finally released driver to offload some work on ordinary RAM to help in Stable diffusion locally, where 4090s 24Gb is too small, considering new image sizes and new video generation model announcement.

Makes me want to dust off a Aquacomputer KryoM.2, be kinda neat to get the same concept as this in a waterblock, using the same contact point on a GPU block to cool the SSD.

It's a cool idea just sucks if the mark up is actually that high, shouldn't be more than 10$ for components, pads and board cut maybe will see use in small form factor systems with limited m.2 slots

i wonder if in combination iwth directstorage you can load in game textures much faster with this configuration

Cool idea but too pricy, guess because it's only one. I bought 4060 (I know only Ti is with it) to my new mATX and would love to see more m.2 slots as 2 I had already used

Given that PCIe bifurcation tends to be a feature on more expensive boards and the 4060 range cards are less expensive, this configuration is assuming someone has opposite buying habits to most PC builders, which is unorthodox to say the least. I will say that at least the SSD is far more accessible than most M.2 slots in this configuration, but loss of PCIe lanes is far from ideal

This is actually a useful thing for a card that is limited by lanes
