GPU question

[jaw knee]

So my mobo has a half length full height PCI x16 slot. Can I fit a gtx 660ti in the slot?

half height is low profile


if its a pci-e x16 slot thats low profile, best you can get is a gtx 750ti lp

What you mean half-length?

X16 means it's a full length needed for GPU cards.

If shorter, then it's not X16; maybe X4 or X1; to which GPUs can't work in those other PCIE slots; must be X16 (length-wise)

I said full height

Here's what it says on the official specs page: "One half-length, full-height, PCI Express x16"

if its full height pci-e x16 you can install any gpu that will fit in the case
as long as the psu has enough power for it

Sweet! Time to put this 660 in! I'll tell you guys if it goes well

I can't get my hopes up too high though

what power supply do you have?
brand/model

I have a generic 280w power supply Which is not enough but I will upgrade it soon

put in a better quality 550+w psu before the 660ti
