Hello everyone. My motherboard (Asus Maximus IX Code) has PCIe x8 and x16 slots. Please take a look to the screenshots bellow. I installed an ASUS Geforce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB ROG STRIX without paying attention and noticed that I put it on a x8 slot and not the x16 slot. Is it better to install it on the x16 slot? Is it going to affect performance in any way? Thank you!!

Edit: I installed it in the 4th slot and is the only GPU on my PC.

It's better to install it in a 16x slot but technically you can install it into a 4x slot and it wouldn't be bottle necked. PCIE 3.0 4x is the same as pcie 2.0 8x or pcie 1.0 16x and pcie 1.0 16x doesn't bottle neck any modern gpu
