Can my motherboard run this GPU?

[drachir]

Im planning to replace my dead card Asus en210 with HD7770 Sapphire/Powercolor.

Motherboard: Asus P5KPL-AM (Intel Chipset G31 Intel ICH7, PCIe x16 1.1, with bios update of 2010)
CPU: Dual Core Intel e5200 3.1ghz OCed
RAM: 4GB ddr2

so, will it run the gpu? can the bios recognize the card?

Thanks!

Should run the card. Couple things though (if you didn't know this already)

1. PCI-E 1 will limit the card a bit.
2. The HD7770 will take a good bit more power than the GeForce 210 did, so make sure you have a decent power supply.

Yes i will upgrade my generic psu to corsair vs 450.

do i need to update some chipset drivers and bios?

Shouldn't need to, but if you do happen to run into a compatibility issue then yes I'd first suggest updating the BIOS.

It may be PCIe Gen 1, but that shouldn't limit that card any.

Glad to hear it's working. Are you seeing some good performance improvements?

BTW: Nothing to be sorry about. The internet is a big place. And I don't know why people have to waste their time A) looking for your post all over the internet and B) to only post that they had done so.
