2.0 compatible with 3.0 PCI?
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
I'm buying a GTX 650 as an upgrade to my current Radeon HD 4550, and it requires a PCI Express 3.0 slot. My motherboard is a P5N-E SLI 1.XX and it has 2 x PCIe x16 , Single VGA mode: x16 (Default), SLI mode: x8, x8 ,1 x PCIe x1 , 2 x PCI 2.2
I was wondering if I could use it on my motherboard, and if so, which port would I use? Thanks!

Yes it will work fine. Currently running a 7950 in 2.0. You might want to look at the 7750 and 7770. Much better price per performance.I compared the GTX 650 to both of those cards, and the 650 had better performance on both, except for on the 7770 where it had a little bit higher texel rate.

Did you just use hwcompare? That site isn't very good. In actual practice they 7750 matches and 7770 beats it.

unfortunately the benchmark is a little old, but I think it proves that the 7750 is at least equal to the 650, with driver updates possible better.
