[maneeshthegamer]

Ok so my rig is

Mobo is GIGABYTE G31M S2L v1 (link below)
http://www.gigabyte.my/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3598#sp

2gb ddr2 ram (planning to upgrade to 4 gb)
Win 7 ultimate 32 bit
Gonna get a 450 W psi
So can my mobo pciex16 run the hd 6670 or 5670 or equivalent pcie2.1x16 card?
Also will it be bottlenecked?
ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED.

 

[amuffin]

No it will not be bottlenecked.

 

[maneeshthegamer]

But will it fit and work?

 

[WR2]

Yes it will.
The HD 6670 is about 6.6" or 168mm and will fit easily on your MB and not block any important items.

 

[maneeshthegamer]

Also should I get the pcie 2.1 x16 version and will it work on pcie x16 slot.

 

[WR2]

The graphics card is compatible with your PCI-e slot.
No need to change motherboards.

I don't think there is any other version of the HD 6670 besides PCI-e 2.1.

So shall I get it since I'm a student and I'm totally screwed by parents if it doesn't work

 

[WR2]

Did you already choose a new PSU?

There is no reason not get the graphics card.
Nothing points to any problem with that card running in your system. Unless it might be the current PSU which you haven't mentioned.

 

[maneeshthegamer]

No but it's average and the card won't take more power
Fast reply , thnx

 

[WR2]

No but it's average and the card won't take more power

What are you saying "it's average"?

 

[maneeshthegamer]

It's not highly rated since it's cheap but I'm sure it is decent to play

 

[WR2]

Are you hiding details of your current PSU for some reason?
Or the one you plan to get? Not all 450W PSUs can actually put out 450W.

 

[WR2]

but I'm sure it is decent to play

It's a guess?
Want a 2nd opinion?

 

[maneeshthegamer]

Well the psu is a local brand. So I hope there will be no hiccups or faultiness in the working of the card in the pcie x16 slot huh?

 

[maneeshthegamer]

Also any other dx11 card of nvidia geforce in the same price range of 100 usd performing well(cannot extend since pc is not good for cards above 6670)

 

[amuffin]

6670 GDDR5?? or DDR3??

 

[maneeshthegamer]

Gddr5. So any good geforce card in this price range?

 

[amuffin]

550ti...

If there's going to be any hiccup it's more likely to come from a budget PSU.
