Which graphics card should I choose and which is compatible?

[bravenbark]

Hey so I was wondering what graphics cards I should get and which ones will work.My motherboard only has 1 pci express
3.0 x16; 1@4 pci express 2.0; and 2 pci slots.I want a Nvidia graphics card so I can use the shield.I was wondering which of the gtx760 I should choose.The graphics card hierarchy linked to an was Evga, which has a lower core clock speed than most other gtx760s.It is also a Pci express 3.0. Should I use this or go with another brand that has a higher core clock? I don't plan to overclock.So, if you could give recommendations as to which Nvidia graphics card for around 250 I should get that's compatible with the Sheild, and explain what PCIs my motherboard can, hold it would be highly appreciated.

PCI is the slot for inserting a video card, so your motherboard can hold only one videocard. Also if your not planning on overclocking get this version:

However I still don't see why you wouldn't overclock...

The one I chose has the second highest clock speed, and is relatively compact. The Gigabyte has the highest clock speed and fan system, but It might not fit into your case.

The Gigabyte GTX 760 WF Rev 2 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DGM8B6O/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00DGM8B6O&linkCode=as2&tag=b0b929-20 has the highest stock clocks and the best cooler on the market. I have one and its a great card. Over clocks well too.

thanks for your suggestion, so a PCI express 3.0 will fit into a PCI express 3.0 x16?

The card is really long, before you go further you should check if it can fit in your pc...

Well in that case go for it. Also you can overclock it a little since of the amount of fans it has.
