Hello Friends, I'm from Turkey.(sorry for my english)

I think the problem is clear. I have an old system, i know it's a bottleneck and I can not use it at full strength.. I want to update it the next year. until that time, I need a good graphic card.
My PCI-E slot 1.1 version(P31 Chipset), and GTX 1050 3.0... Do I face a problem like not seeing or not recognizing? Should I buy a GTX 950 if it is not compatible?

Gigabyte P31-DS3L
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
2x2 4GB Ram.
600W PSU
240GB SSD
Zotac GT 630

P.S: Sorry for Google Translate :)

make sure the bios is up to date


pcie 3.0 is backwards compatible

of course nothing in life is guaranteed so make sure the vendor you buy from has a good return policy

My current BIOS is F9. Do I have to update the F10a? I thought it was risky for being a beta bios.

does not hurt to try with your current bios


of course you could get lucky with the beta if things go wrong

I'm done, I've updated. When I get the card(1050 or 1050TI), I'll update it.
wish me luck and Stay tuned :)

And maxalge, thank you for your attention.
