I want to buy the ASUS Gt 1030 O2G 2Gb Gddr5 graphics card,but the card has an x8 PCI-E,and my motherboard ( asrock b150m-hds ) has an x16 PCI-E slot.Will this work and will it affect performance?
Thanks!
 
Solution
Yes, it'll work just fine. .... although I didn't realize 1030's were x8, but they'd never come close to saturating the bandwidth at x8 anyway.

An x1, x4, x8 or x16 add-on card will work in a x16 slot.

But will it be loose or something like that?I saw some youtube videos and some said it will be loose and some said it will be fine.
Thanks for your time :)
