Pcie Bifurcation

PCIe bifurcation is no different to the definition i e dividing the PCIe slot in smaller chunks branches Example a PCIe x8 card slot could be bifurcated into two 2 x4 chunks or a PCIe x16 into four 4 x4 i e x4x4x4x4 OR two 2 x8 i e x8x8 OR one 1 x8 and two 2 x4 i e x8x4x4 x4x4x8 if it does not make sense now it will later

Good First of all you won t find the word bifurcation in the spec at all The term is commonly understood to mean splitting a set of PCI Express lanes into multiple links and it s most common on Root Complexes

Bifurcation is the ability to assign PCIe lane functions It can take a 16x lane slot and divide the lanes into 2 8x lanes or 4 4x lanes My Asus x99 motherboard has this ability to suport bifunction and my gigabyte x99 udp 3 motherboard does not

PCIe bifurcation is a feature that allows the division of data lanes in a PCIe slot For instance on supported systems a PCIe x16 slot can be configured into two PCIe x8 lanes or more smaller lanes depending on what the motherboard supports

PCIe Bifurcation is as the name suggests the halving of available lanes This is very typical on consumer boards by taking one GPU and one slot at x16 and allowing for two slots and GPUs with each running at x8
