How do I put the BFG GTS 250 into an x1 slot? I have the OC edition and it looks like this:

Also can I even run physx off an pcie x1 slot? I heard you can but I am not completely sure.

It looks like I need to take the metal part around the DVI ports off so I can turn it upside down to plug it into the pcie x1 slot

you would have to physically cut off all of the PCIe connector with a dremel except the 1x portion and it would definitely void your warranty...

but if you are willing, it will work.

that is the SLI connector, it is for connecting two or three cards in SLI

You have to cut it off? What?

I've seen some PCI-E x1 slots with the rear cut off, enabling them to be used for PCI-E x16 cards.

There's an example... But I really have seen some boards with this feature, I just forgot what I saw it on. XD
