Im wanting to buy a new motherboard and a capture card. the mother board i want is the ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0

im going to be running two GTX 650 Ti Boost GPU's but i also want to put in a AVerMedia Live Gamer HD card. is it possible to fit a

smaller port card into an x16 slot. due to the fact the only slot it can naturally fit in is covered by the first GPU.

yeah iirc all PCIE slots are compatible :P you just won't be able use the locking mechanism and well bandwidth limitations are still present (eg a 4x card in a 16x slot still is only as fast as a 4x slot)
