I have been looking all over. does anyone know if this will work on a pcie 2? my computer is an dell optiplex 780 mt with service tag bfccwn1.

This card is backwards compatible with Pcie 2 it works in my HP desktop with Pcie2 made in 2009

I can't say for your specific motherboard, but this card is working for me in a Dell Optiplex 755 that shipped on 06/02/2008 (so my MB, model number 0GM819, is 4 years 4 months old, and I believe it's PCI-E 1.0). I think the chances are good it will work for you. Red/.

Plugs into either PCI buss or ISA buss on motherboard. Not sure if it will work with later PCIX or PCI Express buss.

I have this board and this card. It works great, just make sure you have the 4 pin molex pcie connected and 2 separate 6+2 pin connectors. I'm currently using a rosewill lightning 1300 watt to support this card since the rosewill lightning 800 watt wasn't enough

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. To quote the PCI Express article in Wikipedia: "A PCIe card physically fits (and works correctly) in any slot that is at least as large as it is (e.g., an x1 sized card will work in any sized slot)." My own experience confirms this and I know I've used the card in either x4 or x16 slots previously.

hello this is what I understandIf the module M.2 PCI Express is installed, the PCIE slot is disableddo not know if it's true I have not proven

It will work on any motherboard with a PCIe x4 connector and yes, it will be better than any integrated chipset. This card draws power directly from your PSU (check if you have a floppy connector, I think an adapter is included) so the line power has less noise and therefore, the sound is more "clean".

That's the reason I bought this card I have a MB with only one PCIe X1 slot and no video card The OS it's windows home server 1Only using VGA out And it work of the box (I do not research for your MB specs)Cheers

It should. I haven't tried this specific card in a PCIe 2.0 motherboard, but the spec for the PCIe interface demand that ALL new stuff be backwards compatible. A new spec 3.0 card in an old system is SUPPOSED to identify itself & it's capability to the motherboard. The only real difference is the speed that the old card can handle. The chips on the motherboard will find out the old cards max speed and will talk to the card at or below that speed. The only way I see that a spec 3.0 card would NOT work is if it was a home-built card with bad driver software.

There's absolutely no performance decrease between PCIe's 2 and 3, so you're in luck! :)

Yes it will work in a pcie 8x or 16x slotThe power plug is there because electric signals degrade over distance, and the plug is used to compensate for the distance. It's not required but I would recommend using it

Yes it will work with your mainboard as long as you have an empty PCIe slot available. You should have 2 or 3 PCIe slots on your mainboard.

yes and no , there are 3 versions of this board, this one does not, a previous version of this one/less the pcie x1 and does have 3.0 support ,slot and the first version (not R2.0 <--does not support PCI-E 3.0 (2.0)It really depends on which one you have, this one below does have,,,http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131969

A first gen PCIE will work. I put this video card in a Small form factor dell opitplex 755 and it worked great.

It is a PCIE 2.0 card. This PCIE 2 card will also work in a PCIE 3 bus because PCIE 3 is backward compatible and will accept PCIE 2 cards.

There should be a smaller plug, usually black, at the back of the motherboard that says PCIE under it. If you have the plug it should work as long as you have an available power plug to fit.
