That will work just fine and you will still have the full x16 link speed for your
GPU. The lowest x16 slot is wired to the chipset I believe so you don't need to
worry about losing any bandwidth to your GPU. If you installed the sound card into
the second PCIe x16 slot (the middle one) you may drop to PCIe x8 on the top slot.
Even in this case, you will not lose any performance going from x16 to x8 anyway.

Use the bottom slot for your sound card, it won't interfere with anything there.]]> Tue, 20 Jul 2021 19:28:18 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19280&PID=89365&title=pcie-lane-question#89365 <![CDATA[PCIE lane question : First sorry about my language...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19280&PID=89358&title=pcie-lane-question#89358 Author: desriny0183
