I have one in a x16 PCI slot at 16x. Would a second work in a x16 PCI slot running at 4x?

If your board supports it yes, but your better off with dual 8x vs 16x and 4x

It actually depends on the motherboard, but if you have a notched PCI-E x4 card, it should work, provided there are no components in the way. (by notched, I mean a PCI-E x4 slot that has a notch permitting longer cards to be seated). Also, placing it in a X4 slot means that you won't have a retention clip at the front of the PCI-E slot so make sure to check that your card is seated whenever you physically move the computer. The bandwidth might be a bit limited if you're running PCI-E 2.0, but it shouldn't be a problem with PCI-E 3.0.

dont know what a pcie 3.0x16_2 is. pcie 3.0x16 should work is the _2 a video card duel slot? i used it in a 2.0x16

Yes, this card requires an open PCIe X16 slot. As long as they are following IEEE standards (which if they were not, nothing would work for this motherboard), it should be fine.

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.

Make sure you use a PCI E x16 slot when you install this card. Any slot not a x16 will cause the card to run as a second output with the onboard being the main. Other solutions I can think of are using the latest drivers, and flashing your motherboards BIOS. I had to flash the BIOS on my HP to get it to even let me use the card.

Although I have not installed any graphics cards in my gigabyte board , the product specifications reads 1 x PCI Express x 16 slot running at 16 ( PCIEx16). Note : for optimum performance , if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed , be sure to install it in the PCIEX16 slot. ( the PCIEX16 slot conforms to PCI Express 3.0 standard.) . Also , 1 x PCI Express x16 slot running at x4 (PCIEX4). Also , 2 PCI slots. I would have to say yes , you can run two graphics cards but must not exceed the boards parameters ( PCIEX16 in one slot and PCIEX4 in the other.). Hope this helps to answer your question. I'm sorry I have no real world experience with actually installing any graphics card(s) on my board to truly satisfy your question. I am pleased with the on - boards graphics and currently have no need for additional graphics . Perhaps an email to www.gigabyte.com will better answer than I can ? Hoping they may recommend the best combination of x16 and x4 graphics cards to be used .

YesYes, the PCI-E bus is a standard - the x1 to x16 indicates the number of lanes supported by the slot. You can get some good details from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express To summarize for you - as long as the slot has more lanes than the card you want to install in it, it'll work. So, you can put a x1, x4, x8 or x16 card into a x16 slot. The reverse it NOT true - you cannot put an x8 card into a x1 slot, for example. Good luck!

Yeah. I only had 1 spare pci slot and put in that one and it worked fine for me. Hope this helps.

Are you installing this in a pcie 1.0 slot? These adapters work on pcie 1.0 x1 only.

considering the pci 3.0 is backward compatible with the 2.0 specification there should be no problem, however, I have not tried this so it is a theoretical answer. I assume you have two 16 slots and the first is populated with another card. Also as mentioned in order to provide the best throughput you will need 4 lanes. Most motherboards provide 8 for the second 16 slot put it is worth a double check before you invest in the card.

The card is limited by the mobo bandwidth as far as speeds go. As you stated Rev2, that is what you will most likely be limited to. It's a 1x form, but will work in a x16 slot as well.
2161688
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.

Yup, actually has 3 - 2.0 x16 PCI Express Slots which will run at dual x16 (this is where your dual gtx 970 would be) or x16, x8, x8 (if you add a third card)!

Yes, According to the specs I found on your board it has 1 pcie x16 2.0 the card is made fore the pcie x16 3.0 so the card wont be able to transfer data as fast as it is capable of. Also this card does require additional power from a compatable power supply.
2164388
As long as there isn't anything else already in the PCIe x16 slot and your not drawing an enormous amount of power from the Power Supply for some reason then it should .

Hi John, base on your PC specification it should be able to work. But using 2 cards on the single PC I have not try before. You might want to email Visiontek sale support to check with them.
