[haddad123123]

hi,
i am new here
i recently build a pc with :


motherboard : asus Prime x570-p (PCIE 4.0)
gpu : radeon asus rog rx 5500xt 8gb (PCIE 4.0)
cpu : ryzen 7 3700x
nvme m.2 XPG 1TB 2280

i am planing to buy wifi adapter with pcie : Asus PCE-AX58BT 802.11ac AX3000 Dual-Band PCI-e

my concerns is will my gpu x16 lanes pcie 4.0 will be affected if i put this wifi adapter to my pcie ?

because the cpu have 24 lanes
4 lanes reserved to the motherboard
16 lanes for gpu
m.2 4 lanes

i dont want my gpu performance to be affected
if this will affect my gpu performance i will purchase wifi usb adapter instead



can you advise please ?

GPU doesn't get affected.
All PCIE x1 and second x16 slot on your board are chipset connected. They do not impact cpu connected PCIE x16 graphics card slot.
