Even with 8 lanes available a GPU should work fine. If it's a very high end GPU it won't run at full speed but this is a old i3 so probably not a issue. Some low end GPU's only use 4 lanes to begin with.

I personally did "x16-x1 mod", ie removed the plastic from the connector so a x16 video card could be installed in a x1 slot (and free up the x16 slot for a network or RAID card, don't remember atm). Video card worked fine. It's up to PCI-E standard to actually use any amount of lanes available. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PCIe_J1900_SoC_ITX_Mainboard_IMG_1820.JPG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PCIe_J1900_SoC_ITX_Mainbo...
