Pcie x1 video card dilemma

[BeatleJuice]

I am running an old 2008 motherboard and for graphics, i only have one choice which is to use the Provided Pcie x1 slot. (the motherboard has no x8 or x16 slots) here's the best card i could find http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500355&cm_re=ZOTAC_GeForce_GT_730_DirectX_12-_-14-500-355-_-Product would this be the best card availible? (given the pcie x1 parameters)

If you feel confident go for it.

PCI-e x1 cards are pretty rare, as it's a pretty niche need.

 

A GT730 will work fine for general use and light gaming, though don't expect to run any recent games beyond medium-low settings.

ddr3... no

I doubt a full 16x card will work (at least properly) in a 1x or even 2x slot, the lowest it can go as far as I'm aware is 4x.

Best to just get a new system man.

It works I've used it on an old PC once.

It's okay, but it won't do well in latest games (of course) at even lowest settings (maybe with 640x480, but who wants to play like that?). If you play Valve games, it will run any of them at med-high settings.
