Hey guys, need some advice. A friend of mine wants to upgrade his pc:
mobo: ga-p55-us3l
cpu: Intel Core i3 530
gpu: Sapphire 5670 gddr5 512mb
That mobo has 1x pcie x16 and 1x pcie x4 and he wants to buy another Sapphire 5670 gddr5 512mb. Is the x4 slot powerfull enough for that card? We got a very good deal on that card so only a slight improvement would still be ok but will it work at all? cause i know the x4 is made for discrete GPUs and the 5670 is somewhat faster that your average low-end gpu. The guy at the shop said he can't guarantee it will work at all.
