I have an nvidia geforce 9500 gt in my almost 8 years old computer, will i be able to replace it with this asus card? Also is this OK for a pci-e 2?

IMO your upgrade priorities are confused. Microsoft currently wants everybody to upgrade to Windows 8.1 and later to Windows 10. You need 8 GBytes RAM; if you cannot upgrade your RAM then plan to junk your computer. Concerning the ASUS video card, it is the length of a PCI Express 16 motherboard slot, and (with the supplied GPU Tweak software) I use it with a 350 watt desktop PSU. YMMV.

Yes, but for this particular system is designed well. If you have another Graphics card laying around, I may swap it but I wouldn't spend $500+. The installed Video Graphics NVIDIAB. GeForce GTX 880M graphics with 8GB total GDDR5 is a very dependable card that I wouldn't swap.

Yes. Check Nvidia web site and check system spec. but higher power supply wouldn't hurt if you are planning to upgrade again.

As long as your power supply is powerful enough and has a free 8 pin and 6 pin connector, you should be good. Also, you must have a PCI-E slot on your motherboard. The older, AGP slots do not work for modern GPU's.

Yes it will work. A few things to note though: That motherboard has only one PCI-e 2.0 x16 slot. Make sure you aren't using it for anything else first. Second, the card was designed for PCI-e 3.0. It will work with your 2.0, but you might not get full performance. Though I have heard people say that there isn't much of a difference since video cards aren't powerful enough yet that they truly need 3.0. Finally, don't forget to disable the on-board graphics on your motherboard after installing this one. I believe this is mentioned in the installation guide as well.

Talking about the video card, right? If the fan on the unit shut down, warranty should cover it for 2 years. Go to this site for more information on EVGA Warranty Support for nVidia GeForce 9800GT Graphics Cards: http://www.evga.com/support/warranty/The 9800 GT card works great in my PC, Get the next upgrade to the 9800 GTX, a little more pricey, but great for gamers. Compare clock speeds in the card and then decide.Hopes this helps you!

Yes, you can. However, expect a VERY SMALL performance drop compared to pci e 3. Only about 1-3 fps. I have the card and love it! I highly recommend!

No a PCI-e card like this one is not AGP compatible.Some cards have both graphic interface though.

No pci and pci-e are entirely different. OK for lite gaming or legacy games. Nothing too serious.

The card is compatible with your motherboard but you will need to upgrade your power supply to support it. I would suggest getting something a little above the minimum required amount. Maybe a 500W psu would work well for you with the 9800gt.

Hi Candace. This should replace the original card - and should go in the same slot that the original one is removed from. You will also need to attach a little jumper cable (provided in the upgrade kit) between the graphics card and a socket on the motherboard. Whole installation should take under 1/2 hour including opening and closing the case. So far, the card has been performing perfectly. Good luck to you! Ken.

Unfortunately you will be unable to put that card in the available slots. The video card included covers up the PCI-E slot that is needed for that card.

I'm not sure about the best but I put in a Nvidia EVGA GTX 550 TI. You will have to upgrade your psu to handle it, that took me about 15 min to do. I wanted a decent mid level card, the 550 is a tight fit but it works fine. I bought a Thernaltake 430 watt psu for about $50

Yup! I have mine on a PCI-e 2.0 (x16) and have no problems what so ever. As long as it gets the juice, you'll be just fine.

Best thing to advise here is to check the Nvidia web site and compare the specs first hand. Compare the requirements of the card to the specs on the motherboard. This is a great card. I have the 2 gig model.

all GPU cards are backwards compatible with PCI-E 2.0 and 3.0 so yes you can use a GPU 3.0 Card with that board.

Any card with GeForce processor. I would recommend EVGA GTX series, which ever fits into your budget. I personally have a GTX 680
