Hi guys, I recently got an X Fi Titanium PCIe sound card and my only PCIe slot is right where my first PCIx16 slot for my gpu is. To use my soundcard I had to bump my 780 down to the black PCI slot right below the first one. Asus claims that this slot is x16 I believe but I want to make sure I will not be losing anything from my 780. If I am I will buy a different sound card that is not PCIe, I only bought this soundcard because I got it for $50 bucks and I saw that as a great opportunity to get away from onboard sound. If anyone has any insights please let me know. So far it hasn't seemed to affect performance in BF4 or other games but I want to be 100% sure. Thanks!

Oh yea, I forgot to mention my specs are on my profile icon (My motherboard is the Asus 990FX Sabertooth).

Okay, great, thanks for such a quick response. I didn't think I would but I wanted to be sure. Anyone else verify this? The slot color is black btw, not brown like the others.
