Adding Graphics Card Using PCI-E x1 to PCI-E x16 USB 3.0 Extender on Single Card Slot Motherboard Will it work?

[johnpaul0995]

Hi Guys! Hopefully Someone could help. My question is: Can I use PCI-E Extender on PCI-Ex1 for mATX form motherboard. I have 880gms-e41 (FX) motherboard and it has only single PCI-Ex16, I want to add another graphics card using PCI-E x1 to PCI-E x16 USB 3.0 Extender. I wonder if would work. I just want to add graphics card on a Single Slot Motherboard.

And Second.... Will it work for Crossfire/SLI?

Thanks in advance!!

An X1 slot can't supply the same power as an X16 slot. Does your adapter have supplemental power?

worthless


x1 bandwith is not good enough


CF would be a mess

Don't do it, it will not work well.
SLI and crossfire require stable and consistant power, even more of a reason not to do it.
