Bought a refurbished Z800: can I install a PCI - Express 3.0 card game?

Hello

I have a Question. I bought a refurbished Z800.

Can I install a new PCI-Express 3.0 graphic card Gaming in my Z800?

Thank you very much for your answers.

Gunnar

Gunnar, use a PCI-Express 3.0 graphics card (Gen 3) will work in a Z800.  The Z800 x 16 slots running at speed of Gen 2 only, so the graphics card running at speed Gen 2 and not the highest speed of Gen 3.  Each PCIe Gen 3 graphic card I've ever seen happen to Gen 2 or Gen 1 speeds if they are installed in these slow speed slots.  First check the specifications of the desired graphic card, it must be said it will run to Gen 2 also.

From a practical point of view, a x 16 PCIe Gen 2 interface provides a bandwidth transfer very high anyway, so should not be very noticeable difference between a Gen 2 and Gen 3 interface.  The biggest difference will be the capabilities of the graphics processor, which is a good reason to get a PCIe 3.0 card since they have new GPU.
