I have just received a Gigabyte GV-N460OC-1GI GeForce GTX 460 1GB HDMI Graphics Card. It states it is a PCI-E2 card. I only have a PCI-E port on my motherboard not a v2 one. Would the card be compatible? just need to know as a PSU upgrade is required for the card and dont want to spend the money if its not going to work.
Thanks
Thanks

Should work, bit like usb 1 & 2. Backward compatible. Won't get the full use out of your card though.Mansion TV. Avoid at all cost's :j0

It was cheap on Amazon (£51) and will at least mean a motherboard upgrade at a later date would mean the card would increase in performance and shouldnt need another one any time soon.
thanks for the reply0
