Question 1

Does this board support PCIE bifurcation?

Accepted Answer

The ASRock X870 LiveMixer WiFi motherboard does not support PCIe bifurcation for its primary x16 slot. The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot (PCIE1) operates exclusively in x16 mode and does not share bandwidth with other slots. 
According to ASRock's official product manual and specifications:
The PCIE1 slot is connected directly to the CPU and supports only x16 mode.
Other PCIe slots on the board are connected to the chipset and operate at lower bandwidths (e.g., PCIe 3.0 x1 or PCIe 4.0 x4). 
A general trend noted for some ASRock X870/E boards is a lack of bifurcation support for the main GPU slot, a key consideration for users who need to split the lanes for multiple devices (like an M.2 expansion card). 
You can verify these details on the official ASRock product page for the X870 LiveMixer WiFi or by consulting the manual's PCIe bandwidth table.
