Gigabyte B75M-D3V compatibility

[Sarthak12345]

Can i run gtx 950 on Gigabyte B75M-D3V motherboard?
Specs:
Core i5 3rd Gen
8 GB Ram
400W PSU
Thanks!

Yes. It has a PCIe x16 slot that the GPU cannot saturate. I hope the PSU delivers about 400W of 12V power and has a PCIe 6 pin power connector for your GPU.

I saw on pc-specs.com that B75M-D3V was not compatible with GTX 950..Please explain this?Is there any risk associated with using gtx 950 with this motherboard?

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4654#ov - This is the motherboard
The site where the motherboard is not shown compatible for gtx 950 is : http://www.pc-specs.com/mobo/GigaByte/Gigabyte_GA-B75M-D3V/1850

This is what the motherboard says.

1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16
(The PCI Express x16 slot conforms to PCI Express 3.0 standard.)
* Whether PCI Express 3.0 is supported depends on CPU and graphics card compatibility.
2.2 x PCI Express x1 slots
(All PCI Express x1 slots conform to PCI Express 2.0 standard.)
3.1 x PCI slot

The 950 is a PCI 3.- card that will fit in the motherboard and run. If only PCI 2.0 is available from your CPU, it will still run. I am uncertain what you mean about incompatible.

Thanks for the help....I meant that on that site compatible gpus did not include gtx 950 for that motherboard.

That site includes only PCI 2.0 GPUs. x16 2.0 about the same as x 8 3.0 and this card will not saturate even x 8 2.0.

Look at PCPartPicker. It's easier to use
