So it already has a 750 Ti,but you want to upgrade to a 750 Ti

happened to see it as i refreshed the forum, and its an easy question to answer for people who know it

didt require a long explanation or anything, though i could have gone into far more detail about pcie generations lol.

i just didn't want to get an gtx 750ti to find out that it didn't work with my motherboard

Well, it'll work just fine.

 

However, I can make a pretty safe assumption that if the gpu in there is a 8800gts, then that board is pretty old, so its probably rocking a pcie gen 1 x16 slot for the gpu. While a 750ti isn't going to be bottlenecked by the bandwidth available by that gen 1 slot, something like a 1070 or even 480 would be. Since you're not getting either of those cards though, (and if you did you'd strongly want to consider upgrading the whole system as well) it won't affect the 750ti really at all.

thanks and also i have a q6600 cpu in there so that won't effect the 750ti will it?

A q6600 today, especially if you can squeeze a slightly higher clock speed out of it is still a pretty damn good bargain cpu.

Its the go to cpu it seems for LTT's scrapyard wars. Its cheap, and performs solidly today. It shouldn't bottleneck a 750ti too much, and only really in very poorly cpu optimized games.
