Hi,i just want to know if this video card is compatible with my mother board

Video card: http://www.emag.ro/placa-video-gigabyte-nvidia-geforce-gtx-750-oc-pci-e-2048mb-gddr5-128bit-2xdvi-hdmi-fan-n750oc-2gi/pd/DK4CRBBBM/

Motherboard: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5P41T_LE/

All mobos have a pcie x16 slot. They might be pcie version 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0. It doesn't matter. Each is twice the speed of the previous one.

And with multiple cards you might end up with a pcie x8 slot - 8 lanes from the x16 slot are routed to the second slot.

The amount of data transfer is still way beyond what current cards can run at on x8 - for pcie 3.0, 2.0 or even 1.0

If you have a pcie x4 slot which some mobos end up with with a second card then you start to impinge on the card - bottleneck it. Especially at pcie1.0.

But the cards still run. But not flat out. Especially high end cards.
