    Hm, just wanted to ask if some1 knows if there's an ATi PCIe 16x-card, 3xxx- or 4xxx-gen (LP and passive cooling would be perfect), out there working in a PCIe 1x-slot ...
    Would be much slower, I know, just don't mind about this.

    Thnx.

    ;)

    PCI Express cards can fit into PCIe slots that are physically BIGGER than their connectors, but they cannot fit into slots that are physically smaller than their connectors.

    Thnx everyone.

    Found this one, should be the fastest card for PCI-E 1x so far ...

    Club3D 9500GT

    :thumb: sweet.
    I was almost fooled by the picture. I thought that card was much longer than any 9500GT. Just realized its a low profile version :p Optical illusions :wall:

    Well, need a LP-one, otherwise it won't fit (Lenovo ThinkCentre).
    Just wanna play FUELâ„¢ from time to time.
