Can ASUS XONAR XENSE card be fitted in a PCIE x16 or x8 slot in EVGA X58-SLi Mobo

[vel]

Hello Everyone,

ASUS XONAR_XENSE interface is PCI Express x1 and sits right next to the first PCIE x16 slot where my ATI HD 5870 GPU sits. There is not enough room for these cards to sit next to each other.

I was wondering if anyone has faced this. Instead of moving the GPU to the second PCIE slot can the soundcard be moved to the 3rd PCIE slot on the motherboard? This will keep option open for a crossfire setup.

Here are the links to the card and the mobo:

Your inputs much appreciated.

Thanks

A 1x PCIE card can go in any sized PCIE slot
