I'm planning to buy a HIS r7 260x GDDR5 GPU which has a PCI Express x16 (PCI Express 3.0) slot
My current MOBO is asrock h61m-vs r2.0
However i have some doubts if my MOBO can run the r7 260x
On the box of my MOBO it says it can only run PCie 1 2.0 x 16
But it actually contraindicate the product info in the website, it says my MOBO can run 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot (blue @ x16 mode)
I know that using a PCI 3.0 GPU to a MOBO that can only support PCI 2.0 can reduce the performance of the GPU
I just wanna know if my current MOBO can support the new GDDR5 GPU's
I also dont have enough money to buy a new MOBO
Additional Infos about my RIG
- Intel i3 3210 3.2ghz
- seasonic s12ii 520w
- 2x 4gb RAM 1600mhz
- asrock h61m-vs r2.0
