[tiaguitolvb]

Hello guys,

I have a 1024MB ATI RADEON HD 6670, and im looking for an upgrade. i got A i5 3550 - 3.3GHZ processor. The thing is, my board is ASUS P8H61-L MX (1155) and i look for possible upgrades on asus website, and says Integrated Graphics Processor.
Conclusion: How can I know wchic graphics cards can I put on my board?

Most motherboards aren't locked on what gpu's you can put on them, it might require a bios update, but not a new mobo.
What you have to look out for is what pci-e slots the mobo has, if it has a 8x pci-e 2.0 or 3.0 then you can run pretty much any low-mid end card, i would recommend you the 1050 or 1050 ti, they are compatible if you have a 8x 2.0 pci-e slot.

He means 16x, not 8x. GPUs come on 16x slots, with a few on 1x slots. I don't remember the 6670 being an IGP, so by having one you already know you have a 16x slot. 750TI-1050TI would be the upgrade.

Hello again,

I was on the ASUS website to see the specs of the board and it says " Expansion Slots
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16
3 x PCIe 2.0 x1 "

I think this is what you talking about. the 750TI-1050TI is 3.0, shouldn't work, right?

Is the GeForce GT 730 a good upgrade? this one is PCI-e 2.0.. and i got a garbage PC

Thanks in advance

3.0 is the version number. It should work just fine in a 2.0 slot.
