PCIe is backwards compatible so you have two options. You can either file off the back of the slot to make a 16x fit or use a PCIe extender and connect the card that way.

Is it a PCIe m.2 slot or just a normal 1x slot? Either way you can use an extender to fit a GPU. It will be bottlenecked on the bandwidth but much less then PCI would.

I would have to look

But I’m pretty sure it’s a 1x

It's been a few years but I remember there was a LTT video that showed that while there was a bottle neck with 1x over 16x it wasn't as much as you would expect. I'd also imagine with the age of your computer your not expecting to put a 3090 in it.

Correct

The pci express is the little black one on the bottom

I’m just thinking of something that would give me decent quality

@Stargatemaster96

I’m assuming it would work with the extender?

Something like this is what you want.

Ok

How would you mount the graphics card? Outside or inside the case?

That is an inside the case extender. Can you fit/attach a GPU above the PCI slots where the missing 16x slot would go?

yeah, i could probably find a way to do that

because im not using them

Opt fan 3 be like “I AM S P E E D”

Q: How many decibels is that?
A: All of them

Does anyone else think Apples motto at this point is "Create problems sell solutions"

To an extent, Apple Care seems to be one of the few extended warranties worth it. That's mainly because unlike PCs (desktop or laptops) there is almost nothing inside the average user with a online tutorial can repair.

> I GOT A 3090 BOYS!!!!
@Knotty rip

lol right

damn a 3090

thats kind of epic ngl

but im getting the 5900x and the 6800xt

so jokes on you

I still have my 1050ti

And meanwhile i'm siting here trying to run minecraft on a mac.

*laughs in using a spray painted gtx 480*

I have a 1660 TI

Im probably gonna get a 2070 when the 30 series comes out

I mean 40 series

Yeah, that's more accurate

The irony with their new super-ai crap is hysterical

"We have this new ai that can do all these things, but we don't know how to use a captcha system"

heres whats scary to me

idk if this is technology persey but

I think technology is the biggest political weapon of our generation

google, twitter, facebook, instagram, tiktok,

all of these platforms are platforms for radical political ideologies
