GPU compatibility

Go to solution Solved by BlueChinchillaEatingDorito,

As long as your GPU is PCI-e, and you have a proper PCI-e 16x slot, you're golden. What kind of gaming is your friend planning to do? Just asking to make sure the GT 730 is a good fit.

Hello, I have a question to ask for a friend, he as the MoBo: h57m01

 

http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/mainboard-h57m01-specs-12232011h650/ : specs here

 

and he wants to buy a new GPU as he does not have one, I found this card and recommended it: gabyte NVIDIA GT 730 Graphics Card - 2GB (he has a low budget)

 

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-gigabyte-gt-730-5000mhz-gddr5-gpu-902mhz-384-cores-vga-dvi-hdmi

 

The MoBo specs say that the GPU support is:

2 * PCI Express x1
1 * PCI Express x4 (2.0)
1 * PCI Express x16 (2.0)

would this GPU work?

Thanks!
