My motherboard is: Intel p/n CPU-S5000SL (A) Dual Xeon CPU LGA771 Server Motherboard p/n S5000PSL

and my processors are: xenon x5460

I dont know much about pci and pcix and pcie. I just would like to know if there is a slot on the mobo that will work with the cards like the RX480/70/60 or the GTX1060/70/80

and if you are feeling nice, would you explain to me why it would or wouldnt work, things to watch out for and what not?

thanks :)

the spec sheet for the mobo is here

Solution
there is a slot that can support those cards.
actually two of them.
but you will have hard time to mount cards as the MB layout would require to remove the back bracket. not to mention that this is kinda old platform.


thanks! and yeah its old but still powerful enough for a budget gaming platform 😉 and whats the bracket? i dont suppose you mean the io shield, because there wont be one. ill be building my own wooden case 😛
 


Not really, that's a 9 year old processor that isn't particularly fast, additionally the PCI-E slots are only x8 electrically and not x16, and I suspect that they are PCI-E 1.0, so you have 1/8th of the bandwidth of a PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot, you will bottleneck everything from a 1050? upwards, certainly a 1070/80 on the PCI-E slot alone, and the CPU will also be a limit factor.

Not worth putting a $700 card into it.
 



i was thinking something more like the rx480
 
still to much.
RX 480 is not for "budget" gaming.
that would be 1050Ti.
and considering the price difference, getting used 2nd-4th gen i5 for ~100-150$ (including MB and RAM) + 1050ti would be much better gaming experience for the price of RX 480/GTX 1060.
Of course if you can stretch the budget and still get RX 480/GTX 1060 - that would be awesome 1080p gaming platform and good 1440p platform
