Hello,
I want to know that will my motherboard h61m-ds2 run gtx 950 2gb and R9 270x?
My power is 500w cooler master. There's a guy who is saying that these cards can not run on my motherboard because my motherboard is 2nd Gen and these cards are 4th gen. He he right or wrong?

Waiting for the reply,,,

There is no 4th gen, best is pci-e 3rd gen and also the GPUs are 3rd gen and your motherboard supports 3rd gen, even if it didn't PCI-E is backward compatible. So you can run them without a problem on that motherboard, of course you can run only one of the two video cards so you will have to pick.

Yeah, I want one card on my motherboard not two. I want to confirm this issue before buying because If I buy it and it doesn't work then I'll be in trouble, I recently had a R7 265x and that worked like a charm but I'm just confirming that will gtx 950 able to run on my motherboard.
 


The previous r7 265 is broken thats why I;m buying a new card. I will get gigabyte gtx 950 2gb, you sure that It will run fine on my pc?
