Compatibility between GPU and Motherboard

alexforward · Feb 17, 2018

Hi, wanting to upgrade my GPU but I'm wondering if the GTX 1050 is compatible with my ASUS M2N32-SLI DELUXE Motherboard. Any help? I've been searching the web but I cant seem to find an answer.

Yes it's compatible. What GPU do you have now?

While the card should fit, I doubt the BIOS supports it, so no.

Not too mention, any CPU it has will limit the performance of the 1050.

What do you mean by BIOS, sorry i have no idea what that is lol

Modern cards like the GTX1050 by default need a UEFI bios to recognize it.
UEFI is the modern standard for a Bios which allows more functionality.
Your motherboard likely is not that type. Old style bios will look like plain text and not like a web page.
Some GTX1050 cards will be able to run if they have added support for old bios.
Best to check the capabilities of the particular GTX1050 that you are looking at.

Looking at this https://forums.evga.com/Will-a-GTX-1050-work-on-my-motherboard-m2643062.aspx I don't see why It wouldn't work, I think the best thing to do is make sure that it fits in my case, if it does i'll just buy it, see if it works, if it doesn't then i'll just return it, does that sound good?

Sounds reasonable to me.
Unless you have a small form factor case, needing a low profile card, fitting should not be a problem.
