GPU blocking PCI Express x1 slot. Will wireless adapter work and perform as expected in a PCI Express x16 slot?

Hello,

The wireless adapter requires a PCI Express x1 slot. The issue is, is that the GPU will block the only PCI Express x1 slot on the motherboard. I was wondering if the wireless adapter will work as intended in a PCI Express x16 slot?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Yes, it should. If it isn't too close, use the black x4 lane PCIe X16 slot.
