How to identify if Graphic Card compatible with my old MOBO?
I have Intel Processor in Asrock G41C-VS MOBO.

MOBO: AsRock G41C-VS
Details: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/G41C-VS/

I did some research on my own and found some suggestion, though I think i still need an answer from someone who knew it better. :D

How can i identify if the graphic cards listed below is compatible?

Which one is advisable to use?

ASUS-GT-210: http://pcx.com.ph/components/graphi...64bit-silent-di-1gd3-v2-lp-graphics-card.html

PALIT GEFORCE 210: http://www.palit.biz/palit/vgapro.php?id=1410

GeForce GT 630: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-630/specifications

GeForce GTX 660 :http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-660/specifications

GeForce GTX 670 :http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-670/specifications

GeForce GTX 680 :http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-680/specifications

Though I'm not into high end PC gaming experience, if NBA is playable it will do for me.


TIA!

Yes. The PCI Express interface is backward compatible.

I checked earlier the specifications of :

GeForce GTX 660 :http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-660/specifications

GeForce GTX 670 :http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-670/specifications

GeForce GTX 680 :http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-680/specifications

It says in its specification that Bus Support should be PCI Express 3.0, but upon chekcing my Motherboards specification it only states that it has only PCIe x16 v2.0?

So 3.0 Graphic card can be run into my PCIe x16 v2.0?
