Hey guys! was helping a friend out with his pc and he told me he damaged the first PCIE slot, i was wondering if we could just use the 2nd one with the same x16 lanes or not, the website says the mobo has 2 x16 pcie lanes but the manual says something else which is confusing, please help!
Motherboard is MSI Z390-A-PRO btw

you are probably fine for the most part then. unless you are using a 4k monitor with very demanding new games. but its a 1070ti so im not expecting you to be doing that.
1080p/1440p should be fine
and its not like it wont work either, you will just see a framedrop if it does become a bottleneck
