    Will work fine with your motherboard, as long as the slot you're putting it in is an x16 slot (the long ones) :)

    Shouldn't have too much of a performance drop with it either.

    Got to the link above. Go down the list to Expansion Slots. Red I colored and is for the video card.

    Expansion Slots.
    1 x PCIe x16
    1 x PCIe x1
    2 x PCI

    The PCIe x16 if it is 2.0 does not matter. The 2.1 card is backward compatible to a 2.0 slot.

I am planning to upgrade my video card. I saw this one from Nvidia. Geforce GTS 450. I checked the specs and i saw the "bus" and it says PCI-E 2.0 x 16. My motherboard(Asus P5G41T-MLX3) has PCIe x16. I also have researched that the PCIE is backward compatible meaning the GTS 450 is compatible with...
I'm trying to install the Sapphire ATI Radeon X1800 XT graphics card, however, when I place it in the PCIe slot, I don't get any video. The card only has two DVI outputs. The mother board is a Gigabyte ga-k8n51gmf-9 with an Nvidia 6100 integrated graphics. I can get a signal with VGA off the on...
