PCIE Problem

[John Lloyd]

I have a thinkpad l460 laptop and i want to game on it but i cant run it on a integrated graphics card ( obviously ) even fortnite on a 720p verry low potato display and a anime like fps. So i have a 500euro and i want to spend it on a EXP GDC and buy a 1060 or 1070 graphics card. So my problem is there is 2 pcie slot on my motherboars one is for the wifi card and i dont know the other one. So i take a photo of it. And please tell me what is this slot so i can\cant buy the exp gdc and the vcard.

Yeah, I wouldn't do that.

 

With that port, you'll lose a good percentage of the GPU performance.

 

Get a real PC.

USB 3.0 and lightning are the only real solutions. Doing it any other way is rocket science of black arts...

 

PS, you might have usb 3.0! But I don't know if it is compatible.

EDIT: I'm no PSU expert so there might be better choices for less money and I was a lazy fuck and didnt want to search the tier list
