| Sep 15, 2022 at 5:36 | comment | added | gronostaj | Does this answer your question? Can I plug an graphics cars with PCI Express 4.0 x4 interface into a mobos with 1 x PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16 slot? | |
| Sep 15, 2022 at 5:14 | comment | added | Mostafa | @Ramhound So my understanding is that it physically fits in (because it's half-length x8, meaning it's the same as x4?) but may not operate at its full speed. | |

| Sep 15, 2022 at 4:47 | comment | added | Mostafa | @Ramhound Doesn't it matter that the card is x8 while the slots are x4? | |
| Sep 15, 2022 at 2:40 | comment | added | Ramhound | Yes; As long as the card will fit in your case, a PCIe x4 slot can handle the card you describe. Having no other information I can only guess you have verified the card will fit in the case. | |
