Hey Everyone!
I have what may seem like a dumb question,but I have not built a system in a couple of years and am new to PCI Express 2.0. I was wondering if I can use an Nvidia gtx 285 card on my existing motherboard. It is a DFI Lanparty P35 with standard PCI Express/16,NOT PCI Express 2.0. I currently am using a Gforce 8800gtx. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated...Thanks guys! |

Yes, it's backwards compatible, there are a few very early boards that had problems with it, but no P35 board is one of those and they're rare anyway, should work 100%.
