Answer faalin October 14, 2014 8:35:39 AM you would need a pci-e 1x to 16x cable but this still would not work as it would severely cripple the card and would net you now performance gains. bignastyid October 14, 2014 8:29:37 AM Motherboard doesn't support crossfire. No risers or adapters will fix that.
