Sargento Margera · Apr 11, 2015

Hey guys will an ASUS GT 440 ( PCI express x16 2.0) work on my MOBO it has and PCI Express x16 1.0 slot. i few days ago i bought an Msi R6670 2gb Ddr3 ( PCI express x16 2.1) but didn´t work so im worried that the 440 is not going to work either.

My Mobo :

G31MX-K

CPU : q6600 2,4
Ram : 2GB DDR2 800
PSU: 600W

Mobo is 7-8 years old. Best to get something a little more up to date.

PCIe versions are backwards compatible. A PCIe 1.0 x 16 will be more than enough for a GT 440.

Are you sure it was the hardware that was not working or was it the drivers or/and other software?

I see you posted over at part picker.

Not sure that board will support those graphics cards.

RobWHS :

i think it does cause im not getting errors or blue screens,shutdowns or any problems with the actual hardware or software...

Sargento Margera :

As the board is old and no longer supported you might never get a bios upgrade to run those GPU's.
Did it have a graphics card working in it before?. Maybe the Express slot doesn't work.

@RobWHS,

What are you talking is pure nonsense. Motherboards DO NOT NEED a BIOS UPDATE to RUN A VIDEO CARD!.
Video cards are PLUG AND PLAY! Only problems that can arise are broken PCIe slot, broken card or insufficient power. You can even plug PCIe 3.0 cards in PCIe 1.0 slot.

That is how it is.

Now back to the question.
1 - With what card are you running now?
2 - Are you running an integrated GPU right now, the GMA 3100 on the motherboard?
3 - Did you check your BIOS options to see if you switch your primary graphics adapter to PCIe?
4 - Are you sure you plugged the cable into the graphics card and not in the motherboard when you installed it?

Keep your hair on Batman! Yes my mistake. Was thinking of the tweaks I had to make in my mobo to get my card working.

Shneiky :

right now im running with the integrated GPU, the GMA 3100
and yes i checked the bios to chose the pci express slot...and i tried the gpu and integrated but i didn´t received signal...

i will borrow an 512 MB gpu from a friend to check if the pci slot work...
