BlankInsanity · Nov 16, 2013

Im currently doing a transplant and im gonna use this mobo for a while:

Im transplanting into a Corsair 600T

im upgrading the GPU to an Asus R9 280x? will I get any compatability issues with this card and the mobo?

It will work in any PCIE x16 port, even if it's not 3.0, and even if the port runs at less than x16 like x8 or x4.

oh wow.. I just noticed that is only has a PCIE 1.0 and not PCIE 2.0. so Im assuming the R9 280X will suffer alot in performance..

You might lose a few frames per second but it will still work well for the most part.

hmm still quite annoying. Ill have to add a mobo to my budget even though that was ment to be a later plan

intel H67 chipset has pci-express x16 2.0 revision ( http://ark.intel.com/products/52807/Intel-BD82H67-PCH ), intel sandy bridge processors support 2.0.

But if you look at the mobo I posted it says PCIE x16_1.0

it will still work but the memory bandwidth will be 4 times lower so performance will be lost but it will still work

giorgi1997 :

yea buying the card would be pointless without a new mobo then

BlankInsanity :

look man, if you have a gpu installed on the slot, download gpu-z, run it, press the question mark beside bus interface, start the render, and see if it reads 1.0 or 2.0 or x8 or x16.
