I currently have a PC with this configuration for 1080p25 projects:
MB Gigabyte Z370 HD3 CPU Intel i7-8700K RAM 32GB DDR4 (2x16) GPU EVGA GTX 1060 6GB SSD SATA 500GB for O.S. (Windows 10) CAPTURE CARD Decklink Duo 2
I would like to add a second Decklink Duo 2 to have 8 SDI inputs in total. With the current configuration the PCI-EX lines are not enough for me. What motherboard and processor can I use to make everything work?

Hi, you just need to change the MB the problem is the MB except the pciex16 for GPU, everything else depends on the chipset in dmi 3.0 x4 so between the capture cards (pcie 2.0 x4) and the ssd (pcie 3.0 x4 + sata 6 + lan + usb) it will get stuck at some point and vmix advises to use cpu managed pcie slots for capture cards  Screenshot_3.thumb.png.02755b6cb6b9e31f77a11fd5699b5630.png (64kb) downloaded 10 time(s).you have to take a motherboard with 3 slots managed by the cpu like MSI MEG z390 Ace with 16 cpu lanes in x8/x4/x4 (GPU/BMD Duo 1/BMD Duo 2)  msi meg z790 ace block diagram.png (522kb) downloaded 9 time(s).then either 1 x m.2 ssd for windows and rec or 2 x sata III ssd (1 for windows and 1 for rec) pay attention to the combinations of ports used  msi z90 ssd-sata_page-0001.jpg (294kb) downloaded 10 time(s).bonus : later GPU upgrade for RTX 4xxx if the power supply allows it, and i9-9900k cpu and show can go on
