PCI-E 3.0 motherboard?

[EPiC-PoTaTo-chiP]

Hi
I've wondered if my motherboard supported PCI-E 3.0. My motherboard is Acer Predator G3610. I need to know, because I'm buying the GeForce GTX 780.

Thanks!

Your slot is a PCIe x16 2.0 slot, but it will work fine with the PCIe 3.0 cards. Just make sure that you have enough space to physically fit the card length and width (multiple slot spaces) in the case.

you do not have pci-e 3.0

Not surprising, since computers like this usually use the most generic components they can to keep costs down

depending on what your actual configuration is, that card is complete overkill for your machine.
You'll be fine with a 760... also depending on monitor setup.

The Card in there is a GT 520 which is PCIe x16 2.0. The card will work as it is backwards compatible. Your biggest issue is going to be the power supply, which in all likelyhood, isn't going to be enough. Those OEM's usually aren't.

Will that cause in that my PC will break down, just because my GPU is so big?
