Product: HP Compaq Elite 8300 CMT
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Good afternoon. 

I would like to buy a new graphic card for my pc, but I cannot find, what my Bus interface is..  ( x8 / x16 2.0 / x16 3.0 ... ?)

My motherboard is HP model 3396

PC is HP Compaq Elite 8300 CMT / Intel core i3-3220 3.3

 

All I found so far is that I have PCI expresess. I tried information system in windows 7, CPU-Z, GPU-Z... but nowhere is written this detail. 

 

Thank you for your time and answer.

Hi:

 

The black video card slot is x16 v2.0

 

You will find those specs listed on the Intel website under the chipset specifications.

 

The 8300 Elite series has the Intel Q77 Express chipset.

The white video card slot is x4.

 

You can also find some detailed info on the PC in general at the link below...
