My Mother board is Asus M5A99FX pro R2.0. My AC1900 is in slot 4 pcie(16X16). Any computer settings or slot location that would improve performance?

Hi Harold, I'm going to assume that the reason us are using the forth slot on that board for you wireless network card is because you have a discrete GPU in slot one and you didn't want to have the wireless card that close to the GPU. It really doesn't matter which PCI-e slot you use with the card it will work in a X1, X4, X8 or in a X16 slot but since your board is crossfire/ SLI ready that means the slot you are using shares bandwidth with slot one. And since that motherboard doesn't have on-board video you have to be using a GPU. I'm not sure but you could be now forcing your first slot into operating at X8 instead of X16 by placing the PCI-e x1 card in the second PCI-e x16 slot.

As far as I know, the slot location does not matter. I've moved my card twice now and the computer automatically recognized it. I have 3 available slots on my motherboard and it works the same in at least two.

You should have three PCI slots, plus one PCI Express x16 slot on your MB. Assuming there are no other cards occupying the slot then, "yes", you can install this graphics card on your MB. Also, assure your power supply output is sufficient to power this card.

I installed in a full tower,so I cant answer for sure. The card is not bigger than my motherboard. I would suggest taking the dimensions given and measure how much room you have in your case.

It seems like that would be a normal issue with the kind of setup that board has. Clearance issues are common when dealing with large graphic cards. Maybe you can try placing the card in the second PCIE x16 slot. I have the Crosshair 4 mobo and the header for the hot swappable connection is right under the card so now I can't use it with the built in hotswap bay on my case.

I installed this card onto the workstation version of this Asus motherboard and worked flawlessly. After installation, I recommend the latest drivers from nVidia's website...

hello, I'm not familiar with the motherboard model. I need more information as to whats not working. is it you can't get it to fit in the slot? or did you get it to fit but you have no video? or do you have video but everything looks big? Remember this is a PCI express card. if your motherboard has something other than a PCI express slot is not gonna fit.

PCIe x1 - Yes, that was why I picked it. Almost all 1GB cards seem to be x16, but I needed something that would drive dual monitors and fit a x1 slot in a compact case. Plus previous Zotac graphic cards worked well for me.M$ WinXP, not sure, but I would expect it.I don't remember any PSU connection to the card. If there was one it was a generic plugin for the fan

I don't know about the ASUS Maximus but most modern computers have both the full size and mini PCI slots (hopefully empty!)

No. You'll need to add to the pci express slot. Still a great motherboard. Ive nerve had such a great experience with a motherboard til now. Im going to be using Gigabyte more often now.

The mainboard in the computer I bought is an MSI Z77A-G41. It has 1 PCIe 3.0X16 slot, 1 PCIe 2.0X16 slot, 2 PCIe 2.0X1 slots, and 2 PCI slots. Also it has 4 DDR3 DIMM slots for up to 32Gbyte of memory.

I'd call it low profile, but it does have some width to it. The heat sink makes it wide. In my case, the PCI express slot was isolated. If you have an existing card next to this slot it might be tight.

Yes, I'm running it on an ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 motherboard and haven't had any major issues. It's always a gamble ... once in a while you might get a bad card, but sometimes the small handful of people who have had problems are the ones that complain the most. (EDIT: I feel I should mention one thing. This card is known to sometimes "flicker" in 2-D mode when you're on your desktop. It doesn't happen often, and newer drivers can help, but you might see it. If you can live with that small glitch, this is a great card.)

According to http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_990FX/#specifications, these are the expansion slots: 3 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (dual x16 or x16, x8, x8); 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black); 1 x PCIe 2.0 x1. They also have a note on the first three listed which says "When running dual graphics cards, be sure to insert the card in the first and third PCIex16 slot to get the best performance." 1 x PCI

yes, your Motherboard has 4 slots and can take 16 gigs, more then that and the forums differ in there success rate of getting 32 gigs to work

The pci slot will work but that looks like a small board and this is a huge card so I'm worried that it'll block the memory slots and might even hit the audio out puts. What cpu are you using (fm2) most new cpus are fm3 fm3+ so you might be throttling the card with a weaker cpu.

If memory serves me, no pun intended. If you have four slots they all have to be the same speed otherwise it will perform at the lowest speed, I have put 3 GB in 3 slots and 256mb in the fourth and had no issue. You will also want to see the maximum gigs your motherboard will support, if your motherboard only supports 4 gigs and not 8 gigs then adding it to what you already have would be pointless.

It dose not plug into the motherboard it connects with a 4 pin that comes from your PSU. No it dose not affect performance.
