Elgato Capture Card Functionality Through Mini PCIe

[chrisbritish]

I'm in the process of a mini itx build and am curious if I were to get the ASRock Z77E-ITX, which features a single x16 PCIe slot (for my graphics card) and a mini PCIe slot, if I could utilize the mini PCIe through a mini-PCIe-to-PCIe adapter to run a Elgato HD60 Pro capture card.

 

Alternate suggestions are welcome!

Possibly, you talking about x1? Not mini pcie?

I'm curious if the adapter would slow data transfer / cause latency or anything of the sort. I called Elgato and they said they don't support adapters and hadn't even thought about trying that.

If it is a mitx system where would you even put the capture card? Most likely there wouldn't be any room inside the case.

 

As mpcie is only pcie x1 it might slow down transfer rates.

I'm hoping to use a BitFenix Prodigy. Looks like it has room enough for both the graphics card and the capture card.
