Hello readers,
I have a TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band Wireless N900 which its PCIe x1 slot on motherboard covered by GPU and I need to know if my Wifi card can be compatible on different slot like such PCI-ex x8, x16 or PCI.
Thanks.

The PCIex1 can work in any PCIe slot, as it is the smallest card.
As long as there is the same, or more, lanes it will work.

I just installed my wifi card (in sig) into my second PCIex16 lane that runs in x4 mode. The card is x1.
