If it helps, you don't really need full bandwidth for transcoding so it should work just fine. In fact I believe that's how I have a first gen Arc set up and I've noticed no performance issues

The card is already electronically x8. He means he needs it to fit in a physical x8 slot.

Yeah, this.

I have a supermicro with an epyc processor. 7 x16 slots and 2 x8 slots. I only need one x8 slot for a HBA card, the other could be used for one of these cards. It should be able to pull a couple of separate transcoding streams at any one time.
