    i thought it would work liek this
    without ssd on gpu
    slot 1: gpu (uses 8x lanes)
    slot 2: dual ssd bifurcation card (4x lanes per ssd)
    total 2 nvme ssd in 2 slots

    with ssd on gpu
    slot 1: gpu + ssd (4x lanes each)
    slot 2: dual ssd bifurcation card (4x lanes per ssd)
    total 3 nvme in 2 slots

    assuming that the gpu only needs 4x lanes of pcie 5.0

    you get an extra ssd in this scenario which would not be possible without a GPU that natively does PCIE 5.0 at 4x.
