Does GTX 950 work in a pci e 2.0 (x16) slot?

MrChickenNuggets · Oct 19, 2016

i was meaning to get a new graphics card for my pc. i would like to get either a gtx 750 ti or a gtx 950, although im not too sure if the 950 would work with my MOBO. here are the specs for my pc:
16 GB RAM
Mother board: MS-7869 ver: 1.0
PSU: 200 W (want to upgrade it to 300w or 400w)
CPU: intel core i5 4440

Yes pci-e is forwards and backwards compatible. You will need a new psu 200w isn't enough.

what do i need to upgrade it to?

bignastyid · Oct 19, 2016

A good quality 350w would work. If you get a 950 that requires a 6-pin power connection make sure you get a psu that has one. Where are you located? I might be able to reccomend some.

Portugal link , for the XFX 450W Core , it's built on a much better platform than the TS.

If this is a prebuilt , just keep in mind that some of them won't run the 700, 900 , 1000 series cards.

GregFarley248 · Oct 19, 2016

yes without a doubt it will work!

MrChickenNuggets · Oct 20, 2016

with the specs above

bignastyid · Oct 20, 2016

That is new enough that I dont think it will have a problem with compatibility.
