Sir, I have an ASUS P5G41C-M LX motherboard and I want to install a new ASUS AMD R7 250 2GB DDR5 PCI EXPRESS x16 DP HDMI DVI 128bit Graphics card.http://www.amazon.in/Asus-R7-250-DDR5-EXPRESS-128Bit/dp/B01F3QEZ1U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486286781&sr=8-1&keywords=amd+radeon+r7+250

Please tell me that does this card bottlenecks with my mobo and also tell me does that card with directx12 works with my mobo.
Thank you.

According to the manual, this MOBO chipset supports PCIe x16 version 1.1, while the card uses PCIe x16 version 3.0, so while it will work, the MOBO could bottleneck the card but it's difficult to say how much precisely. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it shouldn't bottleneck *too much* considering the card.

About DirectX question, that card is DX11 and thus won't make use of any features provided by DX12.
