The slot physically is a 16x slot. But electrically it's on a 4x slot. PCI-E is great as it doesn't matter whether a device is a 1x, 4x, 8x or 16x device... if it'll physically fit in the slot, it'll work. (In theory). |

I have to melt the back off of it, but yeah it worked (amazingly). Performance wasn't that bad either. |
