IS Gigabyte NVIDIA GV-N740D5OC-2GI Graphics Card Compatible with P5KPL-AM/PS Motherboard ?

[emailvarunchandak]

I am planning to buy a new GFX card, without any changes to my current configuration, apart from my existing GPU. I have shorted out to this : Gigabyte NVIDIA GV-N740D5OC-2GI Graphics Card. My query is whether this gfx card is compatible with my P5KPL-AM/PS Motherboard ?

Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Its compatible with your Mobo but why not add another 3k and buy this instead: Zotac GTX750 2GB @ 10k

I could... but I am already constrained on my budget... that's why....

for my gfx, in the specs its PCIe 3.0, and my current gfx card is Geforce EN210 which is PCIe (1.0 or 2.0)... my main concern is this only...

PCIe 3,0 is backwards compatible with PCIe 2.0 Dont worry.Ok. You can go with this also: Galax GT740 2GB D5 Slim DDR5 -8800.

okay.... thnks for that...

due to backward compatibility, will I be able to use the full resources of my gfx ???? For example, connecting a USB3.0 pendrive in 2.0 slot will give speeds of 2.0...

No dont worry. The difference is not at all noticeable.
