Hi all
I need some help my friend has motherboard with a PCI-E slot that has only x8 speed instead of x16. If he decides to get a new graphics card will it work. Also if it will work will he be at a significant disadvantage than somebody who is using a pci-e x16 slot?
So will he see a noticeable difference when playing games like a loss in frame rates than what he should be getting if was to be using a pci-e x16 slot? Will games be slower than it should be? Will this pci-e x8 slot cause a bottleneck?
Sorry i can't tell you the name of the motheboard, i can't remember the model but it is an ASUS motherboard.
Thanks
