well i was planning to buy a radeon hd 7750 but when i came to know (via some other websites)
that the amd hd 7700 series have some compatiblity issues with older pci-e versions...but we all know that nvidia graphic cards have no compatiblity issues with older pci-e versions .so i lost all my hope from amd side and considered a gtx 650 instead of 7750..but power supply was also an issue for me(i've a generic 450watts psu) so how can i leave 7700 series (lol).but now i've came to know that amd hd 7750 is compatible with g41 chipsets motherboards (mine one is also a g41):-

see this person system specs as he has a perfectly running 7750 on g41 chipset


visit a forum via this link -http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1649869/radeon-7750-work-pci-express-slot-motherboard-digilite-g41mx3.html

this person also has the same problem like i have and see the results now ....that he has a running hd 7750 on a g41 chipset (pci-e 1.1 *16 slot)

so i want to know the final verdict from all of you about this so called "pci-e version compatiblity issue with radeon hd 7700 series".should i believe these peoples ? should i buy this card .i don't want to waste money on a graphic card which isn't compatible with my motherboard .

I haven't heard of that one. But I don't think it'll have any compatibility issues. I also have a PCIe 1.1 x16 slot and G41 chipset and I was worried about the same thing. Thorough research told me not to worry about anything. Another fact that you might be wondering about, there isn't even a discernible performance drop between a PCIe 3.0 GPU being put in a PCIe 3.0 slot and one that's put into a PCIe 1.1 slot.

And also about that GTX 650, why are you worried about power supply issue? [strike]That card doesn't require auxiliary power[/strike], and as far as my memory serve me I remember that it only requires a 400W PSU... so you should be good to go if you're worried about compatibility issues with the HD 7750. :)

EDITED: Sorry, I just checked...

EDITED: Sorry, I just checked the specs for the GTX 650 and IT DOES require auxiliary power. :lol: My bad. It's just that I have that same card (an ASUS variety) and it doesn't require aux power.
