Would my motherboard support this graphic card ?

Hi guys, I've just got a quick question, would my Asus P5K SE support Sapphire HD 6790, 1 GB, PCI-E ?

Thanks ! :)

Yeah it would "support" it, but not to it's fullest spec as the motherboard uses and older version of PCI-Express.
A friend of mine is running a ATI HD5850 on a P35 motherboard and his PC is fine.

Something I would check out is if your PC came with that motherboard was it supplied with a good enough power supply to run that card.

If I was you I would be looking to upgrade motherboard , CPU and RAM, which would probably entail getting a decent case and PSU too, see previous paragraph.

Well, I'm using a 650W power supply now.
