[SOLVED] Can I use a GTX 1050 ti that requires pcie 3 work on a pcie 2x 16?

So I have been recently thinking about upgrading my graphics card, I really want to buy a GTX 1050 ti but, I don't really know if it will fit or work on a pcie 2 x 16.

Hi @Dan_kingdom

1st off, Welcome to Tom's!

2nd, what's the exact make & model of your motherboard and PSU? While the 1050 does not require a power cable plugged in (gets its power directly from the PCIe slot) it still recommends you have a minimum of a 300w PSU. Also the 1050 is a PCIe 3.0 card which means it'll work in just about any PCIe x16 slot from the past decade. Still, to verify, please against list out your mobo so we can be sure. What's the rest of your system look like hardware wise?
