[SOLVED] PCI x1 no room....

[SPECOPS70]

Hello all.

OK the pc is:

FX6300
16gb ram
gigabyte ga-78lmt usb3 mobo
rx 560

OK. So i ordered a wifi card for the pc. Just found out that the rx 560 is to fat. the 560 covers the pci x1 slot and cannot install the wifi card.

the pc is solely used for online work like office apps, surfing the internet and an occasional youtube vid. no gaming or editing of any kind. will the onboard graphics be enough? meaning will the mobo graphics be enough for that? wondering so i dont have to install gpu. thx

i just hooked up pc. and the desktop and icons are huge. trying to uninstall radeon drivers but is greyed out. there is no option in the display settings for the 1920x1200 that the mobo manual says it can run. what can i do?

What revision of the board are you using (4.1, 5.0, 6.0)?
What OS are you using? If you're using Windows 10, it looks like that last AMD Chipset driver (which would handle your onboard graphics) was for Windows 7. You might want to try and install those.

nvrmnd. just found out that it is a mobo from before win 10. so the vga amd 3000 onboard drivers do not support win 10 wow!!!! so either i get rid of wifi card and put rx 560 back in or keep wifi card in and leave rx out and live with the not so good graphics....damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i did install the win 7 ones. but in the installation it told me that something failed and it was the graphics driver for win 10 not supported.

As an option, you could try using a PCI-Ex1 riser cable like this one:
