I came across some posts across the internet stating that these 5 series radeons have compatibility issues with pcie 1.0a boards, haven't come across a problem with the g31 chipset though.

I'm using a MSI G31TM-P21 mobo... can any member confirm whether these 5 series cards, specially the 5750 work with g31 motherboards having a pcie 1.0a x16 slot?? I'm really having a hard time going ahead with my purchase of this card because of this issue... i came across a thread here (can't find it anymore though) with the issue but nothing definite came out of it.

Please help. Thanks!! :)
 
what your total config ?

With that mobo I can say its not gonna be very good and a bottle neck for the GPu

but yes it can work .........
 
@Devinwolf well i know its not one of those extreme performance ones, as my build was a bit limited by my budget, but i can live with a bit drop in framerates and i don't think its gonna be a major issue since i'll be using it at max 1680x1080 resolution...

I've an E5300 @ 2.6ghz, 2+1GB DDR2 800mhz RAM, 320GB WD Caviar Blue, 400watts FSP SAGA2 PSU.

@rahulgoel & devinwolf, are you sure cause i haven't come across anyone using the card with a g31 let alone my mobo :(... n reading the no POST issues with 1.0a slots has really got me thinking...
 
Mention ur full config as DevinWolf has said. I need to know ur CPU and PSU especially..

EDIT:-

GO ahead, happy gaming....

i already stated my config guys... i guess it got lost in the post.
 
Go ahead , you wont even see any frame rate issue , 1pci-e 1.0 is only bottleneck on extreme high resolution or dual card configuration like sli .
