I5 4690k have 16 pcie lanes. Can I have it to run 16x and 1x?

I5 4690k have 16 pci e lanes, can I run r9 290(a 16x card) with an asus wireless adapter(1x) with them at their maximum performance.

Can the processor handle 17 PCI E lanes?

To be honest most cards dont max gen 3.0 8x..... So though to say that you will notice a difference anyway.

And to answer your question. That processor has 16 pci e lanes

I think that's 16 Gen3 lanes from the CPU... however some boards have x1 coming from the chipset.

 

In honestly even if you ran at 8x because of the wireless card it wouldn't impact anything.

No.

Do you use the ethernet port of your motherboard ? What router model do you have ?

I was thinking about wireless internet connection.

And I have a new question now. Wireless internet vs Wired which is faster.

Neither should really be any faster if they're working properly, though a wired connection removes any potential concerns about signal strength and interference. I'd always take wired on a desktop machine, if it's an option. At least, I wouldn't want to give up a PCIe lane for wireless.

I'm currently running  a i5 3570k with a 770 and a wireless adapter..  you'll be fine..

8x is still maximum

The speed difference of your graphics card will be very small if it runs on 8x.

You have 16 lanes from your chipset too.
