I don't really know which one it is, so I'm assuming it's a regular slot. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

You just might not get full performance from the card, that's all. Edited September 29, 2014 by Benrith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

On the mother board next to the video slot there should be a serious of letters and numbers. Sometimes you need to take the video card out to see that. blackcat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
