Will this video card (ATI Radeon HD 4670 1GB GDDR3 PCI-E) work in my computer?

Computer is Compaq Presario SR5350F

Video Card is ATI Radeon HD 4670 1GB GDDR3 PCI-E



My main concern is that the card is PCIe x16 2.0 and my computer is only PCIe x16 (not 2.0).



Here are links to all specs for both computer and card:

The card should be backwards compatible and work with PCI-E x16



Hope this helps, good luck|||Yes it will fit in your computer, make sure the power supply that comes with the computer will support it though. The power supplies that come as standard in those sort of computers aren't usually up to much when you start adding extra parts.



edit: the pcix16 slot on that computer IS 2.0 so no worries about the compatability|||You're going to get a major bottleneck (Loss of effectiveness) from your processor.



And yes, PCI-E 2.0 is backwards compatible. But with loss of speed.



So really, you're going to be REALLY bottlenecked. Hate to break it to you =[
