cool3r · Jul 22, 2013

im gonna upgrade from my Nvidia GeForce 210 to AMD Radeon 7750 MSI OC V2 and i was wondering will it work on a PCI-e x16 MOBO ? cuz 7750 is 3.0

Yes, it'll work. I used to have a 7750 on a PCIe 1.0 slot, and it worked absolutely fine

It will, but i dont know what the Performance difference will be.
I knwo that its not noticable *yet* from 3.0 to 2.0 but i dont know about 1.0

On that gpu, I do not think you will loose any noticeable performance.

With a HD 7750 I do not think you will loose much if any performance you should be fine.

You won't *lose* any performance.
