Hey folks. Here's the deal:
- I've gotta 780i motherboard with 3 big PCI-Express slots (PCI-E x16) for graphics cards.
- Beneath the first big PCI-Express slot is a very small PCI-Express slot (PCI-E x1), which lines up perfectly with the other ones, only it's about a quarter of the size.
- I wanna get myself a "PhysX PCI Express x1" card which will fit perfectly into this small slot.
- My motherboard insists that the GPU must be in the first PCI-Express x16 slot on the board.
So here's the issue:
- The GPU I wanna get and the PhysX card will not fit in together, unless I can put the PhysX card in one of the larger PCI-Express x16 slots.
Is this possible, or does it have to be in the small one?
Thanks for any help you guys can give.
