Long story short i bought a GTX 1050TI to replace my gt 1030 in my old system with a asrock 980DE3/U3S3 motherboard. Tried everything but couldnt get it to work, ive went to return it to the shop where i bought it and they tried to figure out why it wasnt working. conclusion by them, motherboard doesnt suport this card and wont suport any newer cards.
im questioning that (altho im no where near an expert my self), the GTX 1050ti is a PCI-e 3.0 x16 and the motherboard is a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot (PCIE3 @ x16 mode) .... 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 right ? the gt 1030 also works in my system. Am i missing something ? if so any recomendations to a card that could work are welcome.
