My Mobo a785gm-m supports GF 650 TI?

[pelos66]

Hi everyone.

I've been searching on the web and cant find a clue about this.
My 9600GT just died and i want to replace it with a new GF 650 TI.
Currently i own a Mobo ECS a785gm-m that is PCI E 2.0 according to specifications, and the GF 650 says it is PCI E 3.0. Im not quite sure if this means that i wont be able to use the new video card with my current MoBo.

If so, would be performance issues? How severe? Is it going to work?
Any help will be very appreciated.

It will be fine

 

[I.S.T.]

PCI-E is backwards compatible. I'm running a GTX 650 on a PCI-E 1.1 board with no issues.

Actually some PCIe 2.0 cards apparently don't work on PCIe 1.x. We had a thread here somewhat recently about that.

But the OP's board is PCIe 2.0 so he's definitely good to go.
