Will this work on PCIe 2.0 16x slot? I have an XPS8300 with, Core i5-2300 (@2.8Ghz) 6GB DDR3. Would it work and run latest games on mid sett?

It will work fine on a pcie 2.0 slot. Pcie 3.0 is backwards compatible with pcie 2.0. This will play most of the newest games on high-ultra high settings @1080p depending of course on the game.

If you have Pci-x slot, and you do, it should work just fine..... sure like mine

Although there is a rumor around that some folks have issues with PCIe2.0/3.0 cards on the PCIe 1.1 slots, I personally have not found that to be the case. I can't vouch for this particular card, but I have used other PCIe2.0/3.0 cards on a PCIe 1.1 slot with no issues. Since I made my earlier post about this card, I have found an even better card that runs w/o the need of a 6 pin power cable. The GTX 750/750 Ti. But be careful; some DO require the aux power cable. So search around. I bought this one: http://www.evga.com/articles/00821/#3753 It even plays Crysis3 at 1080p w/o any stutter at low/med settings. And looks great.

Yes, this card will work fine in a PCI-E 2.0/2.1 Slot. I've used many PCIE 3.0 Cards in PCIE 2.0/2.1 slots with no problems.

Yes. Graphics cards are built with backwards compatibility built in, so a PCIe 3.0 X16 card (like this one) will work in a PCIe X16 slot. Check out the system requirements here: http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1226&pid=2021&lid=1#

This memory will work in that and any mainboard with the PCI memory slots - but - it will run only at the 400 MHz frequency. This might drag down your performance. This memory is safest for compatibility, especially older mainboard that have a 4GB limit with only two open slots.

As long as you have a PCI-Express slot, yes. I forget now, but this card either uses PCI-E 2, or 3. If it is 3, then running it in a 2.0 will bottleneck your card (Not too badly, though). Otherwise, not a problem. I can't find your motherboard model anywhere, otherwise it'd be very short.

All PCIe 2.0 devices work in 1.0 slots. This is not a very power hungry card, so it should work in most computers, but it recommends at least an 400 watt power supply.

I believe so. I have it in a Dell 760 Mini Tower now. I had one PCIE slot as well. To make sure I would contact EVGA support.

Hi, I bought the this for use it on a windows 7 with a motherboard that has a 1 x PCI-E x1 2.0 Slot, usually the old motherboards does not have one. I don't think it will work on windows ME and maybe with windows XP. I´m sure that it works on Windows 7 and Windows 8.kind Regards

You will lose memory bandwidth performance, as the card will only be running at x1 slot bandwidth speed. It will definitely work, but you'll have to find out how much performance reduction you'll get running the card in x1 mode vs x16.

It will work just fine, I bought this card like a month ago and my mother board is PCIE 2.0, the performance is excellent! No complaints so far. The card its great you should get it.

According to MSI website the card runs on the PCI Express x16 3.0 port. This will not work due to the card requiring a newer skit than the one you mentioned.

I read on wikipedia that PCI-E 1.0 and 2.0 were backwards compatable. Only in "very rare cases" would they not work together. I, like you, am planning on getting this as an upgrade from the 8600 GTS.

Just bought this recently and the bios has been updated to work with that processor. If you are planning to run a separate graphics card all should work great. I set this up to run the on chip graphics and could only find drivers compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8 (not Vista or any previous version of Windows). If you run Windows 7 or 8 operating system and on chip graphics, the correct video drivers can be downloaded from AsRock.

It will work. Not sure about bios, though. I have a pcie 2.0 x16 motherboard and it works flawlessly. It might be a good idea to update your motherboard's bios.

I do not have that motherboard, so I can not say 100% that it will work. However, that board does have a PCIe (PCI Express) x16 slot which will take a standard PCIe graphics card (which this is), it doesn't matter if it's PCIe v2.0 or PCIe v3.0. Both should work. If you are using the onboard graphics you may need to disable it when you install the EVGA card, that kind of stuff (if necessary) can be done in the BIOS. Good Luck.
