I'm upgrading a PC with a 3rd gen cpu (i5 3470). The only pcie slot is 1.0 16x and I'm looking at a gtx950 to put in. Will it be bottlenecked by the pcie slot? Thanks

Are you sure it's not a 2.0 or 3.0 slot?

 

If it is 1.0 then buy a new mobo!

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

What motherboard is it? IT shouldn't have a 16x 1.0 slot.

PC is Intel Core i5 6400, GIgabyte H170 Gaming 3, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4GB 2400Mhz ,Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB, WD Blue 1TB, NZXT S340, ASUS Geforce GTX 960. Fractal Design Tesla R2 650W. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/793XNG. Graphics card choices don't always have to be dictated on performance. If you want the game stream and power consumption of the GTX 970 get that. If you want raw performance of the R9 390 get that. In the end we are all gamers, so what if your buddy gets an extra 5 fps?

thanks guys. checked the specs on the website and says its 2.0. Maybe the motherboard is just deceptively labelled...

Either way it shouldnt bottleneck.
