Solution Barty1884 Jan 29, 2018 Yes, i3-3220 and it's chipsets are limited to PCIe Gen2, but that won't limit performance. Actually, a very balanced pairing IMO. FWIW, if this is an old prebuilt (say, Dell or HP or something), you may find limitations with BIOS support for newer cards and it may not work. If this is paired with a retail motherboard (ASUS, Gigabyte etc), then you shouldn't have any issues.

Would it be compatible with a gtx 1050 ti 4gb? Like i3 and motherboard? Upvote 0 Downvote
