Hello,

I want to know if it is possible to put expansion cards such as gamecapture cards, audio cards in the PC without having to share the 16x slot for my GTX 1050 Ti.

Thanks

I think the CPU itself has it's 16X lanes and the Z270 chipset has another 24x for a total of 40X lanes.

You won't cut into your graphics card bandwidth.

One thing I'd suggest is maybe seeing if the built in nvidia streaming stuff is good enough for you. It's designed to be very minimal in CPU/GPU usage and also much much cheaper since you already own it.
