Does my mobo support it?

[Assitaca]

I got a EX58-UD5 and i wanna buy a Palit GTX 680 (PCI Express 16 x 3 ,2 GB GDDR5). Does my mobo support it?

If you're asking if it'll support 3 way SLI then yes but it's at x16 x8 x8

 

[Assitaca]

no, just one. "but it's at x16 x8 x8" is that a prob? sorry im a newb

 

[Johan45]

no just 1 card will run at x16 you're fine!!

 

[Assitaca]

okay! thanks

though if you run more than one card it is @ 8x(which most of the other mobos are ...I think)

You will be fine.

The card will run at PCIE16X (gen 2) on your system. It is a gen 3 card. Pcie Gen 3 X 8 is equivalent to pcie gen 2 x16. So you are only going to give the card half the bandwidth it was designed for. In real world usage you might see a one or two percent drop in performance with the 680. If you were getting a 780 or a titan youd probably really notice it but with a 680 it'll be fine.
