If I have a PCI-E 2.0 x16 graphics card, will my system support an additional PCI-E device? My Gigabyte MA770 hates this card.

My system has no trouble with the card. The Amazon cable I purchased does not handle USB 3.0 speeds. I thought the card was bad until I plugged a drive directly into the card.

I use this card and have had no problems. I also have a Gigabyte MB, but don't recall the model. Your graphics card shouldn't have any effect on the card. I would suggest trying a different port, in case one of your PCIe ports is bad. It could be a bad card, but I own several Anker products and have never received a DOA item.

A Gigabyte MA770 comes with one PCI-E x16 2.0 slot, four PCI-E x1 slots, and two PCI slots. The Anker 3.0 card should be able to use one of the PCI-E x1 slots. Don't see how the presence of a graphics card in the 2.0 slot would affect the performance of a card in one of the x1 slots. How does your motherboard's hatred of the Anker card express itself?

Yes Yes, 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!

I couldn't say for sure. I think pci-e is backwards and forwards compatible--it just won't be 3.0-fast. I would google for pci-e compatibility between versions. I used an AMD A-series on-chip GPU and it was for someone else.

No, you MUST use a pci-e slot. I'm not a gamer so I cannot respond as to whether this is adequate for gaming scenarios.

Hello and thank you for contacting us. This will work in any full size system that has a PCI-E slot on it. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know.Sincerely,Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

This Model of Mother Board is more than enough to support two of these Graphic Cards. But keep this in mind when going for SLI, that this is a dual Slot Card, meaning you will not be able to place another card in the next immediate PCI Experss slot. So, if your PCI Express Slots are given as X16, X16, X8, X8 (From Top), you can put First Graphics Card in X16 and the next one only in X8. Although this should not affect much of a performance, as none of present Graphics Cards never make use of the complete X16 configuration.

Yeah, it should be as PCI-e 3.0 is backwards compatible to PCI-e 2.0 which this motherboard has. You just will be limited by the lower bandwidth associated with PCI-e 2.0 due to the motherboard's shortcomings in this regard.

PCI-E 2.0 and PCI-E 3.0 are backwards compatible. So yes it will work on your motherboard.

According to the board stats... it has PCI-E slots.. so why would you need it ?

It connects to one PCI-E slot. Are you planning on using more than 1 graphics card? Look up your motherboard if unsure whether it's possible to do what you are planning.Hope this helps

Unfortunately, this processor doesn't support PCI-E 3.0. However, you shouldn't be worried because there isn't a big difference in performance between PCI-E 2.0 and PCI-E 3.0. I hope this helps.

Yes, pci-e 3.0 is backwards compatible to pci-e 1.0, so a pci-e 3.0 video card will work in any pci-e slot. The only caveat is that it will only negotiate the highest bandwidth that the motherboard will support, so a pci-e 3.0 card will not run at 3.0 bandwidth in a 1.0 slot.

blackhawkms, Most likely, the card you would upgrade with would be PCI-e X16. This system does have a free slot of that type.

Yes. Just be sure your motherboard supports at least a single PCI-E 3 x16 lane.

All PCI-E 3.0 cards are backwards compatible, it may slow down the performance of the card slightly but not big enough unless you plan to crossfire two 290/x's

Yes. I'm running the GTX 760 which is also a PCI e 3.0 card. Just make sure your power supply is powerful enough for the setup you plan on building.
