PCI graphics card

Yes, ik what you're gonna say, that it's useless and to get a PCI-E mobo and such, but humour me for a sec.

I have this mobo, will be getting a pentium dual core G3258 with it, i could use the internal GPU but if there's a PCI GPU i'd use it for the lol and cause i never had a PCI gpu.

 

So, what's the most powerful PCI GPU if there are any besides some quadros and such. Or can i just get a PCI to PCI-E converter and run a PCI-E GPU on it?

GTX 1050 2GB or GTX 1050Ti 4GB.

Probably the riva tnt2 or voodoo 3

 

Good luck finding those.

I don't think that's for PCI.

They are.

No they're not. PCI is not PCI-E.

 

OP, I don't know about most powerful but the most recent chip is GT610: https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-NVIDIA-GeForce-512MB-ZT-60604-10L/dp/B0083Y1YVE

what about the adapters from PCI to PCIE? Would those work?

I've never tried them but I'd imagine there'd be some trouble. The absolute maximum a single 32-bit PCI can do is 266 MBps whereas PCI-E 2.0 starts at 500 MBps and that's a single lane. GPUs tend to get heavily bottlenecked at PCI-Ex1. Usually you really need at least x4 which is 2 GBps.  But if you're up for benchmarking it, do try it out. Might be fun.
