The wifi card only uses x1 pcie lane, I think you are confusing it with the M.2 pcie slot which is x4. Also if pci-e lanes were the problem I think Amd cards wouldn't work either. It depends on the TOLUD, if you can host additional pci-e devices, but since the y510p's tolud is 2.3GB you can host a VGA on the mpci-e plug and play. With Ultrabay adapter you are just plugging in another GPU x8 device, you arent using more or less lanes than before.

Do you think it would be possible to use the SSD's M.2 pcie slot for a GPU instead of the wifi's x1 pcie lane? I want to use a 3.0 GPU (Rx 470), but I fear the x1 pcie will be too much of a bottleneck.
I could buy the Ultrabay adapter but I'd like to buy something that could be used on other laptops also....

Hey guys. 

I heard that using the Wifi's port (which doesn't have a high bandwidth) could severely reduce the GPU's performance and capabilities. To what extent can this apply on an Y510p?
I'd like to use Sapphire's RX 460 2gb or 4gb with my Lenovo.. 
I considered using Gerald's Ultrabay adapter, but he'll start manufacturing in January. Plus, buying a general adapter could let me use it on future/past/any laptop while the Ultrabay one wouldn't.

Anyone who still need an adapter?

Yes! Sent a pm too.
