Should this card run on MSI motherboard MS-7680? It is PCI-E 2 but i didnt think that would be an issue.

I wont be. I have an asus p7p55 ws supercomputer and it runs perfectly fine. It does not support pcie 3.0 so i can tell you that it will not be a problem

This card should work in your computer. I checked the specifications for your mother board and the specs for the card. Your power supply is at the minimum output for this card. The motherboard has the proper size slot. The card is PCI-e3 your motherboard is PCI-e2. This should be OK too.

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.

I believe it is a PCI card. Bought it a while back and returned it because my motherboard only had PCI-E slots. Hope this helps.

It may run on a 425W PSU but it will run sluggish. Yes the card requires you have two 6-pin connectors hooked to it to run properly. It will run properly if you upgrade the power supply. The card requires a minimum of 500 Watts, but my suggestion would be to go to a 550w at least or a 600w PSU.

This depends if the person have a PCI-e slot on your mother board. If you will look at the contacts the card has, then look at your mother board you should know if it will work. If all slots are being used A person would have to remove some cards to effectively see if the socket is present. The main question is, Does the motherboard have a PCI-e slot available for the card?

As far as I'm aware there shouldn't be problems with either installion of the hardware or software. I've ran this card on 3 year ddr2 motherboard ... So without knowing your exact motherboard. I'd say YES i'm about 90% sure!

I read on wikipedia that PCI-E 1.0 and 2.0 were backwards compatable. Only in "very rare cases" would they not work together. I, like you, am planning on getting this as an upgrade from the 8600 GTS.

As long as you have a PCI-Express slot, yes. I forget now, but this card either uses PCI-E 2, or 3. If it is 3, then running it in a 2.0 will bottleneck your card (Not too badly, though). Otherwise, not a problem. I can't find your motherboard model anywhere, otherwise it'd be very short.

No, you would need to update the BIOS. Go to the MSI site, look for this particular product, then look in the area for the product for Support (NOT the support listed at the top of the page) and then for compatibility. The BIOS update needed should be there. You can also look for Updates there as well.

I believe so... The card doesn't need it's own power supply, so you should be good. It does require the pci-e slot on your board.

As others have said, that processor will run the with this card just fine, but it may be a bit of a bottle neck. The more important question is however, what motherboard do you have? Does it have the required PCI-Express 2.0 x16 expansion slot to accept this card?

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, this card will work fine in a PCI-E 2.0/2.1 Slot. I've used many PCIE 3.0 Cards in PCIE 2.0/2.1 slots with no problems.

It is a PCI-E 1x Card (not PCI)I think so, but it'd be best to check Zotac's siteNo special power supply needed, it draws it's power from the slot

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/.

I believe I can only answer one question here. All PCI-E editions are backwards compatible with their previous version. 3.0 &gt; 2.0 &gt; 1.0. I don't know the other answer though, sorry.
