Title: Re: noob question pci express slots x8 or x4 the same than x16? Post by: bitpop on June 08, 2011, 01:23:47 AM Just remember, physically, 99% of video cards are x16 sized. But if you get an adapter, they will work in a x1, x4 or x8. I bought a low profile x16, used a x1 to x16 adapter, and plugged it straight in.
