Following on from an earlier thread: help - i need new graphics card
I am not sure my motherboard can cope & would support the GTX 660's Bus requirement: "PCIe 3.0 x16" as it is a few years old.
Is there an easy way to find out what my hardware can support (and possibly more importantly determine what MB I actually have).
The 660 doesn't require PCIe 3.0, it is perfectly compatible with PCIe 1.0 and 2.0, as the slots are forwards and backwards compatible.
Open the case and get the mobo model number?
Without taking everything out, it is not clear what the model number is (or even which brand, I have a feeling it is Asus (was a custom build) and about 4 years old... Boasting the 'state of the art' (lol) Core 2 Quad 2.4 Ghz processor!Quote:
