Motherboard GPU Compatability Question

The amount of Video Cards a motherboard can support (if using powered risers) is only limited by the number of PCI-E slots, correct? I've found a board (MSI - B250 GAMING M3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard) that has 2 PCI-E 16x and 4 PCI-E 1x. If I use powered risers there should be no issue right?

Not correct. The number of PCIE lanes for the cpu that matters.OliverNChalk said:The amount of Video Cards a motherboard can support (if using powered risers) is only limited by the number of PCI-E slots, correct?
