I'm building a PC and was wondering if this video card http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=4663#ov (GV-N760OC-2GD (rev. 2.0))
is compatible with http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=4305#ov (GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 4.1))

Also if someone could tell me how to check Motherboard/Video card compatibility that would be nice

Could anyone tell me how you figure out weather the video card is compatible with certain motherboards?
What do you look for to tell you they are compatible?

Thanks for the help

They should have at least PCIe 2.0 slots, which 95% of current day motherboards have. You shouldn't have any problem.

No, a motherboard does not need to have PCE-E 2.0 to function. An PCI-E 3.0 GFX card for example is backwards compatible with PCI-E 1.0/2.0/2.1 if your motherboard has a PCI-E slot, any GFX card will work, regardless of the PCI-E revision.


Whoops, forgot to mention that if you're going for the HD 6670, its better to have PCie 2.0
