Im currently having some issues with my system, and have been advised to switch my GPU to another pci slot. The only issue with this is that the other pcie 2.0 slot is x4 rather than the primary x16.

I want to know whether this would impact performance much with gaming etc.

Rig:
Amd fx 8350
8gb 1866mhz
Powercolor r9 290 pcs+ 4gb
Gigabyte 970-ud3p


Fyi- here is a link to the problem i am facing if anyone could help me further:) http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2962064/black-screen-remains-powered.html
