Plz help me to find out my pcie

What is your motherboard? It's physically a PCI-e x16 but I don't know how it's wired electrically without knowing the motherboard make/model.

If you want to know for yourself and don't know what your motherboard is, put a graphics card in it and run GPU-z, which will tell you (make sure you hit the little "?" by the PCI-e box readout in GPU-z when you do or else it will just report PCI-e 1.1 x4).

Plz guys i'm buying redon hd 6670 or gforce gt 640.
Bt the main problem is i don't kw my pci expres.
I used cpu z/crutial scan but i got no result..
Here is the pic of my pcie slot..i jst need to know wheather it is x16 or not..otherwise i'l hv to buy a new motherboard.  

Have you tried reading your motherboards manual?

Plz help me to find out my pcie

sorry for making multiple posts..i didn't intended to..i don't have motherboard manual as this pc was of my brother's.he exchangd my lapy with this and he don't have any manual  

Then use CPUz to find the out the model and manufacturer and then go to their website and download it.

here s what i got with cpu-z

Is that a pre-built computer? Must be since its an un-named OEM motherboard. So without the name of the whole computer, cant do much.

But if its anything recent (P/H61, Z/H68, Z/H77, probably most LGA775 chipsets), the top PCI-e slot should be at 16x.
Even if its not and only 8x, I doubt it would bottleneck the GPU, the cards you are getting aren't all that powerful.

An image of the whole motherboard may help. Brand logo's or specifications on it, that sort of stuff. It will also tell us if it has a standard ATX layout, so we can figure out if its a board unique to that pre-built or if its a proper consumer motherboard.

Well that's useful, not! From your earlier pictures it looks like some sort of Asus motherboard but without you doing some research on any numbers or names stamped on the board you may end up trying out a lot of hardware ID programs.

It may help to point out that PCIE slots are all forward/backward compatible. As long as you have a slot, you can plug a GPU into it.

The worst that can happen is the card could run at less than it's full potential sometimes.

thanks for your replays guys..here is full pic of d mobo

Yes that is a tiny little mATX board in a dusty case.

Is that an M-ATX board in an ATX case? Nothing wrong with that, just a bit weird.

Never heard of Mercury before.
Im guessing by the IDE connector its a 775 board. Do you know if the RAM is DDR2 or 3? Or what CPU is in it (CPU-Z should tell you).
Whole thing is fairly nondescript. Only branding is that Mercury logo, with no printing to tell what each slot is or any of its features.

Heres Mercury's website with a search function for their motherboards. All the 775 mobo's listed dont look visually like yours, but that might not mean much.

In a nutshell, its gonna be pretty hard to trace the heritage of that mobo. I would just stick in the new GPU and hope for the best. As I said before, those cards aren't big performers, so I doubt a bottleneck will occur.

yes i always keep this cpu open  
hey anyway i tried this another softwr..and got this result....

it is ddr2..i think old

I thought it was the Asus logo upside down.  

hi..now i don't undrerstand this...it says it is pcie x1...bt i'v seen pcie x1 and they don't look like this at all,...they are small aren't they?my question is any way to plug in a pcie x16 card in it???cuz it seems like the card will stick in it
