I’m checking available options for an ADT-link M.2 PCIe adapter that works with your RX580. I’m aiming for the highest data speeds, though it might be a bit challenging. Let me know if you have any suggestions on the top choices among the many options out there.

I strongly advise against using this method since there is no support available and numerous BIOS versions have compatibility issues.

I understand you're open to experimenting with gaming setups using a monitor connected to the RX580. It looks like you're considering alternatives to a full-size PCIe slot, such as an Exd GDC Beast adapter, though they might be pricier and offer lower signal quality.

Typically, most PCIe devices can function with fewer lanes, though bandwidth decreases. The x4 port has space at the end for x16 cards.

Interesting question about card sizes and slot compatibility. The idea that smaller cards can fit into larger slots is true, but the exact impact on performance depends on the specific card model. Regarding your RX580, a similar adapter might help, though the M.2 port limitation could still be an issue.

M-key and A&E-key don't work together. A&E provides PCIe x2 speed, which can significantly slow down most GPUs.

I believe I might be saving up for a Thunderbolt enclosure. If it breaks, I won’t be able to get another GPU, and I’d prefer higher bandwidth.
