GTX750ti on PCI 2.0 ?

[delenikov]

Hello guys, i need a little help.

I have
asus M5A78L-M LX - (PCI 2.0)
Amd Athlon X2 250 @3.00ghz
4,00GB of RAM Kingston 1333mhz
GT 440 1gb DDR3
PSU ( on the back of the psu it writes
delux - 700W but idk it has 6connectors)

So my question is, can i use gtx 750ti on this motherboard ?
* Also i have read in my user manual for my motherboard that it can keep up to 1gb GPU Memory and its DDR3.
But gtx750ti is 2gb DDR5, so can i use gtx 750ti and if no give me your suggestions for gpu

You can use it, yes. But with only 4GB of system memory, the 2GB card will require Win to set aside a huge chunk of that system memory for its buffer.
Most GTX 750 Ti don't require a 6-pin connector. Which one are you considering?

I ran a 750ti on an Asus PCI 2.0 motherboard just fine. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the "motherboard can keep up to 1GB GPU memory" is for an APU rather than a dedicated graphics card.

I ran a GTX 750Ti on a PCIe 2.0 lane before, I now run a 970 on it 😛

There's no issues with it, no bottlenecking at all.

This is just for extra backup on saying that it will run perfectly fine.

^ the mb is old & has radeon hd3200 graphics integrated.
With a discrete GPU in that 1gb resevered ram doesn't apply.not even going to bother bringing the PSU into the equation , a bus powered 750ti is rated at 60w , the old 440 pulled 65-70w so its not really an issue.
750ti will work fine.

Correct. The graphics cards vram is totally seperate.
