[valtiel]

well. im quite new in the mining thing and im still having silly question like this one.
you have botleneck problems if you run one of your gpu in a x16 slot and another in a x8 pci express slot?
PD: sorry for my bad english.

x1 PCIe is plenty, you will have no bottleneck on x8.

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.
