    So it appears that I have discovered this:

    Startech PCI Express Riser Card x8 to x16 Left Slot Adapter for 1U Servers Model | eBay


    It's a killer deal, should I put it in my other pci slot? I don't have 2 x16 slots.

    I'll state my specs:

    CPU: Core i3 4160 3.60Ghz
    RAM: 10GB (1, 8 and 1, 2)
    Power Supply: Corsair: CX-600M (600 watt)
    OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
    Motherboard: Not sure all I know is my computer is a lenovo h50-50.
    GPU: Geforce GTX 560 1GB

    I have a spare nvidia 8400gs that I'd put in the adapter. The only problem I see occuring is the power supply not giving enough juice.. besides that I'd imagine that everything else would be fine, right?

    Or... in order to make it work would I have to have another 560 (the same model as my current)?

    What`s your purpose for using the 8400GS ?

    You need 2 of the same series cards to use sli, personally I wouldn`t bother with a riser card and another old GPU like that, just buy a new 980 or 980 Ti.

    A single 980 or 980 Ti is more then enough. Can`t afford that, get a 960 or 970
