pcie Display output from gpu GPU on PCIE 3.0 x16 slot (running at 1x mode) possible?

Hello,

I am planning to buy a Biostar B550MXC PRO motherboard and want to use it with R5 5600x processor. the motherboard has PCIE 3.0 x16 slot (running at 1x mode). If I use a GPU in that slot can get video output? I will us the pc as Truenas server . The PCIE x16 (running at 16x mode) will be used for pcie to nvme expansion card.

 

Thanks in advance

Yeah, you can get display outputs from those x1 slots. They even make some x1 GPUs.

Depends on the GPU, some won't POST if they don't get at least x4. Try it.

Planning to use GeForce GT 710, website is saying it uses PCI-E 2.0 x 8 bus. It's very hard to find a gpu with x1 PCI-E.
