Pcie 2.0

[goraga112]

So im about to buy a graphics card with pcie 3.0, but my motherboard has pcie 2.0.. can i run my gpu, and if yes, will it be huge impact on preformance

 

Current specs:

• Intel Core i5-4460, Quad Core, 3.20GHz, 6MB, LGA1150, 22nm, 84W, VGA, BOX
• ASRock H81M-HDS - 2.0 - motherboard - micro ATX - LGA1150 Socket - H81 - USB 3.0
• Corsair 8GB 1600MHz
• Samsung - Hard drive – 1TB - internal - 3.5" - SATA-600 - 7200 rpm
• Inter-tech Power Supply INTER-TECH Booster SPS-520 AC 115/230V, 50/60Hz, DC 3.3/5/±12V
• And some old mATX case

It will be fine, PCI-E is backwards compatible. 

 

Edit: Dont know if I like the look of that PSU, may be a problem depending on what card you are buying (May be worth replacing for anything high end).

what gpu?

i guess you aren ot buying 1080TI but something along the line 1050ti -1070(performance wise) so you will be fine

Im running a 1080 Ti on PCIe 2.0, its doing more than fine, from tests i have seen performance lost is minimal.

There is a super good deal on 1050 (non ti) in Latvia, so im getting dat

this, the 1080 ti is pretty much the only card you need to worry about not getting 16x 3.0

 

edit: and even then its not the end of the world

Why the fuck do you have 1080 ti and 2.0 motherboard?

then you will be perfectly fine  it would be a problem if u had like 1440p monitor and you wanted to run games on ultra on 60+hz with gpu like 1080-1080ti

Gtx 1050 (non ti)

ah, i was just curious but i think you would be fine doing pcie 2.0 8x with that card

I have basic 21.5 inch 60hz monitor

U will be absolutely fine  Just go for it (you wont notice any difference from pci3)

GPU died in a time did not want to buy a whole new PC, so i bought the card i wanted for the new PC. Which is going to get build once Coffee lake will be released/benchmarked.

Im buying 1050 non ti

If your board has PCIE 2.0, I'd be worried about CPU bottlenecks more than that

*scratch that, just read that you're waiting for coffee lake*

Had to think about coffee lake for 1 min until i got the joke..

I dont think my cpu will bottleneck with gtx 1050

Ofcourse its going to be a bottleneck by a 2nd gen CPU, but im not worried about that, since this card would have never runned more than a few months in this system.

[Cruorzy]

1050 Ti and 1060 should be more than fine running on 2.0.

Its never recommended to run a 1080 Ti on 2.0, but just said it is possible.

Yes, and if you want to you can even take this to another extreme and install a PCIe x16 GPU in a PCIe 1.0 x1 slot. 

 

 

 

Would it be stupid? Absolutely. Unless you want to mine bitcoins, don't do it. 

 

PCI express generations and lanes are both forwards and backwards compatible. Meaning one can shove pcie x1 card into an x16 slot, and one can shove an x16 card into a x1 slot. PCIe generations are also backwards and forwards compatible. You could also install a PCIe 3.0 GPU in a gen 1.0 slot, or install a PCIe 1.0 device in a Gen 3 slot. 

 

In other words, that PCIe 3.0 GPU could theoretically be installed form a PCIe x16 3.0 slot all the way down to a PCIe 1x 1.0 slot. 

 

TLDR: if it fits it works. 

You used too much smart words, but i wont try pcie 1.1 slot.. its a task for another day..

I am almost 100 % sure its 4th gen cpu

Talking about the guy with a 1080ti, but just read that it's temporary

You do have a 4th gen, was talking about my 2nd gen. Since people asked me why im running a 1080 Ti on pcie 2.0
