Does the EVGA 680ISLI MOBO support the 8800GT

[Myzz617]

Hey guys and gals,

I bought this mobo back in July and have not used it yet. It's the A1 680ISLI and I am not sure if It supports the new PCI 2.0 interface. Any suggestions/Answers???

The 8800GT should be a PCI-e x16 interface, so as long as the mobo has that then you'll be fine.

Basically everything you can get these days has PCI-e x16 on it so it will most likely be ok

If you're not sure, google for pictures and compare what you have on the board.

Yea your right dave but the 8800GT has a PCI-e 2.0 x16 interface. The pic of the Card looks like it would be fine with my mobo but the whole new PCI-E 2.0 specification confuses me a smudge lol.

I dont want to buy a card that my current mobo does not support.

too many people are getting screwed up by the 2.0 bullcrap.

it uses the same slot. the 2.0 is just a reference the amount of power being consumed and the amount of information being transported. a 2.0 card will work just fine in a pci-e 16x slot.
