Hi all i need some help on a little situation.

I need to find out whether the Gecube HD 2600XT 256MB GDDR3 will work with a motherboard that has a PCI-E x8 bus speed. The motherboard does have PCI-E x16 slot length so i know the graphics card will fit but i don't know for sure whether it will work in x8 mode or not.

The reason i am unsure about this is because the official website requirements page says this:

"PCI Express x16 based PC is required with minimum one x16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard."

Is it just talking about needing x16 lane slot or does the slot have to run in x16 mode too, i'm just a little confused, i think it will work in x8 mode but need some confirmation.

Also it says it recommends a 400w psu or greater.

The PSU is a generic with 400w and 20A on the +12V rail

To summarize my questions:
Will the HD 2600XT work with this PSU and will it work with this PCI-E x8 bus?
Would the HD 2600XT be bottlenecked by the x8 bus speed to create a noticeable difference in performance when compared to running in PCI-E x16 mode?

Thanks

btw if it turns out that i can't run this card is there any other decent card within a £60 budget
