PCIe 3.0 x8 vs. x16 f or 1080 Ti ?

JJS88 · Apr 14, 2017

my 1080 Ti won't fit in the first slot of my MB b/c of my Noctua cooler.. is there a big difference b/w x8 and x16? What do you guys suggest I do?

JJS88 :

for that card yes

how do you have the cooler setup that it interferes with the gpu???

anyways, get a pcie riser

then you can move the gpu to whatever location you want inside the case

As maxalge said you can get a riser/extender but you need to make absolutely sure that it is an x16 compatible one and also you shouldn't just go with whatever is the cheapest you can find. Do your research and make sure it's of a good quality.

With a single card there isn't any bottleneck.

Isn't that a 1080 and not a 1080 Ti?
