GPU for my kid

PCI Express Architecture
PCI Express is the latest I/O interconnect technology that will replace the existing PCI. With a bus bandwidth 4 times higher than that of AGP 8X interface, PCI Express x16 bus performs much better than AGP 8X in applications such as 3D gaming. PCI Express x1 also outperforms PCI interface with its exceptional high bandwidth.

OK so can I use a PCIe version 2.0 GPU on my version 1.0

There is a difference but it depends on the card how much the difference is.

 So does this tell me that I have a version 1 or version 2.0 PCIex16

I missed your message logging in earlier today. I don't know how or why. So sorry.

 

That screen doesn't say anything nor could I read specs from the Asus website. That motherboard has PCI V2 for both the x16 slot the GPU would go in and the x1 that a WiFi card would go in.

It also uses DDR2 800 MHz RAM which will be a huge problem but she might be able to play some games.

A rx 470 would be a choose if you go used but I would prefer a gtx 106 if you have really nice bargaining skills

BTW I'm a 14 year old and to be honest I just roam around in GTA 5 and go to the strip club when nobody is near
