Question Will my motherboard g41t m12 support gpu with pcie 2.0?

[Yeaboyyyyyy]

I want to buy a gtx 460 but will my motherboard support?

PCIe Express is backwards compatible with previous versions. Also forwards compatible.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

The GPU should drop right in, although I'm concerned what the make and model of your PSU is and it's age, at this point of time.

There's limited information available on that motherboard, however it has one PCI Express x16 expansion slot. Whether that's PCI Express version 1, 2, or even 3 is unknown to me. However the golden rule still applies. PCI Express is backwards compatible. If the motherboard is PCI Express 1.0, the card will not be running at its fullest potential as the 1.0 bandwidth will be getting maxed out by the 2.0 video card.

Just do keep in mind how limited the GTX 460 is in the modern world. Try to purchase the 1GB version if at all possible. Nvidia also semi recently dropped support for the GTX 400 series all together. So no more driver updates, game optimizations, etc.

Maybe can but can bios detect the gtx 460?
