hey guys, first time on these forums, I want to get a new graphics card, but have no idea if it'll be compatable, I'm looking for a GTX 660, but have an old PC whit a P5G4IC-MLX.
I was wondering if anyone has this setup and would it fit with it and what to do if not.
Thanks

I don't see any reasons why the 660 wont work on that motherboard.
Just make sure you have enough headroom with the power supply to accommodate the new GPU.

That, and do a fresh install of drivers to prevent issues.

The only downside is the PCIe isn't 2.0 or later.
There are no compatibility issues there, but you may not see the GPU used to it's full potential due to bandwidth limitations.

Thanks for the quick reply, I do not know what case I have, but is there a way to know if it'll fit in the back where the display ports are? or is that part universal?
Thanks :)
