will hd 7770 work with my motherboard?
my current specs are:-
msi g41m-p28 motherboard
4gb ddr3 ram
intel core 2 duo e4500@2.2 ghz(oc it to 2.6ghz)
atx g-tech 450watt psu

I wouldn't push it with that PSU. How many amps do you have on the 12V rail?

 

[abhi_reapar]

No i hope psu wont be an issue..my confusion is that whether the 2.0bus stand pcie slot support the hd 7770 gfx card?

Do not "hope" your psu isn't a issue, make sur. Open your case and look for the amps on the +12V rail.

Yes 2.0 supports 3.0.

The mobo had pci-ex x16 1.0, I wouldn't gamble for it..

And for psu, If the PSU had pci-ex power cables/pin for graphic card Then it usually can power 7770 (it not to demanding card)

edit: are u sure u had 2.0 pci-ex? from msi website it was 1.0....
if the psu don't had pcie-x power cables/pin then u may need new psu (don't use Y converter, etc)

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

Make sure that is not sur. Hate i can't edit.

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

Think you're right with the 1.0.

Aha, make sure first then if it is 2.0 indeed.

 

[abhi_reapar]

on the manual its mentioned pcie 2.0x16slot so i hope it must be a pcie 2.0 slot motherboard.the only isue is that would it support a hd 7770?

 

[abhi_reapar]

concerning the psu i would upgrade it.on the 12v rail it is mentioned 23 amperes so would it be enough?

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

If your sure the mobo is 2.0 it's ok.

With the powersupply you are really cutting it close ; i believe at least 20A is needed so technically it's possible, i can't recommend it though.

 

[abhi_reapar]

so brother,what is the difference between a pcie 2.0 and pcie 3.0 bus stand?what is the purpose of making a pcie 3.0 card if it works with the pcie 2.0?

 

[abhi_reapar]

will my board support a hd 7770 card easily?or will it bother my card????

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

A 3.0 can work at higher speeds, but current low end gpu's don't use it really. I believe a 7770 won't be effected.

 

[rdc85]

The only thing bothers me if the card use the 2.1+ specification (it had different power bus structure than 1.0/2.0) but i'm this issue not so clear.....

btw if u try it, please update the post (if it work or not) for future reference

 

[krishnakhatri]

sooory ur opinion aint clear,can u make it simple for me?

 

[rdc85]

the 2.1 card had different pci-ex bus power requirement than 1.0 or 2.0 so there a chance it wouldn't work... I dunno about pci-ex 3.0.

when the card running on 1.0 u also get performance limitation

So my opinion is not to risk it, save the money for the new build ....

 

[krishnakhatri]

i was using a nvidia geforce 210 and hd 5450 card on the same board without any difficulty.so my point is whether or not hd 7770 work with my mobo?i hope it might be a pcie 2.0 bus standard slot..the msi website says its a 1.0 bus standard slot whereas the user manual and the mobo guide book refers its a 2.0 bus standard slot.
so,its rather confusing with the pcie slot.are there any software that determines the information about the mobo?

 

[rdc85]

there are aida64 but as i remember it was not free ones. Maybe there a trial version..

it can read almost every/any info in the CPU..........

 

[Deemo13]

Honestly it should work. But probably not with that PSU. Maybe I would recommend a 7750.

 

[krishnakhatri]

so if i get corsair 500 watt will it be able to run a hd 6870 or hd 6850?

 

[Deemo13]

You should yes.
