Is TurboCap compatible with PCI Express 16x?

Yes, if the slot is a standard 16x one. Several motherboards have a 16x slot reserved for graphics (usually called PEG, PCI Express Graphics). If you put the TurboCap card (or any other non graphics card) in that slot, it will typically operate at 1x. This is not a limitation of the TurboCap card, but rather a “limitation/feature” of the motherboard itself.
