Processor and Video Card Compatibility

[epicsauce1137]

Heya all, i am wondering if both of these processors can handle a PCIE 3.0 video card: Intel Pentium G840 and Intel Pentium G630?

And can an Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 run on a PCIE 2.0?

Thanks for your help

All PCIE 3.0 backward compatible with PCI-ex 2.0.....

Using 2.0 slot with 3.0 card not had drop of performance except top tier card (that also minimum)..

So as long your mobo had PCIex 2.0 it will be fine..

yes 650 can run at pci-ex 2.0

Wow, okay thanks so there wouldn't be any trouble if i'm gonna run the GTX 650 on PCIex 2.0?

As long as your mobo support pci-ex. 2.0 and your psu can power it then it's fine

(400w and had 6pin vga power as nvi recommends)
