[N8T1308]

Just need to know if this video card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102801

Will be compatible with this motherboard:
Gateway RS780 motherboard

Thanks for your time

it is a pcie motherboard, and the card is a pcie vga, but you might want to make sure it will fit in whatever case you have. some of those oem cases are pretty tight, and thats a long card.

so its is compatible i just need to make sure that the video card will have enough room in my case?

So can I use that card with my motherboard if I have enough room in my case?

you can (have a look at this and verify its your mobo) http://support.gateway.com/s/MOTHERBD/Shared/4006272R/4006272Rnv.shtml
but yes you can, pcie v2.0 is backward compatible with pcie v1.0

Yeah thats definately my motherboard! Thanks for your help I did not know PCI Express x16 2.0 was backward compatible that makes me so much more secure about my recent computer purchase. Thanks Again
