HI everybody! I have an HP Pavilion 590-p0066. I want to add a 1050 ti to it, but I am wondering what generation my PCi x16 is. I checked the motherboard specs, and it didn't specify. Of course, there is no problem with a first gen or second gen (Because the graphics cards are backward compatible for previous generations) but I know there is a bandwidth difference between the three, so I am just curious. Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm new to PC parts and upgrading and such.
Solved! Go to Solution.
