A:AnswerI had mine installed in a pci express 2.0 slot in a old gaming pc i had just for fun and it worked, so i image you are good with 3.0 as long as your power supply is atleast 500wats.
A:AnswerIt gonna work on PCIe 3.0 ... even some first generation of new motherboards for z490 chipset works on PCIe 3.0 ... PCIe 4 going to start work a little later...
A:AnswerThis card is compatible with all systems. Now with that being said, depending on the CPU this card might be bottlenecked due to less allowance of bandwidth through a smaller number of PCI lanes from the CPU. For example I would not pair this card with any pentium or celeron.
A:AnswerCard Dimension (inch) 10.94 x 5.51 x 2.28.
Card Dimension (cm) 27.8 x 14 x 5.8
this set of numbers is from the xfxforce.com website
so 27.8 cm = 278 mm but note it is a thick card. xfx makes some of these cards only 1.73 inches thick while this card is 2.28 inches thick
A:AnswerIt’s pretty wide but not significantly long. The model I bought the RAW II only takes up 2 slots. As long as you are not using the PCIE next to your card you should have no problem. If you buy a 3 slot version then you simply couldn’t use the next 2 PCIE slots.
A:AnswerPull up your performance monitor from task manager. Start your game. When it lags go back and look at the performance. If your RAM is capped then yes, you may need more memory. It could also be your CPU... Just see which category is capped out in performance monitor and it should give you a clue.
