Question 1

Will this card fit my weak system?

processor: Dual core E5200 - 2.5GHz
motherboard: Gigabyte G31M - ES2C revise1.1
Vga: built in intel GMA3100 - 265MB
Memory: 2 gigabyte - bus 800
Monitor: 19 -LG flatron W 1943SE
Power supply 250 watt

Accepted Answer

I am currently using this card with an E5200 in a EP43 motherboard with no problem. Since your G31M board has a PCI E x 16 slot it will fit. My build has a 350 watt power supply so I can't be sure if your 250 watt would be sufficient. Gigabyte says you need at least 350 watts but others say they have run it with only 300 watts.

I currently have 3 computers running the E5200 processor. One in a EP43 motherboard the other two in P41 boards. The EP43 easily overclocks to 3750 (12.5 x 300). The two P41's overclock to 3345 (12.5 x 266). Running Windows 7 and four megs of ram these computers are not weak by any means.

Question 2

does this card have DX12 and compatible in win 10?

Accepted Answer

Yes it will.

However, even if you're looking to reap the benefits of DX12, you'd still be limited as this is an entry-level card

Question 3

Will this fit in pci express 2.0 x16 ?

Accepted Answer

Yes it will fit any PCI express x16 slot and is designed for the 2.0 for optimal performance

Question 4

What size is it? I want to see if it fits in my motherboard; Asus A68HM-E. And does the size matter because I'm getting a MiniATX/ATX? So there is still room in my computer case.

Accepted Answer

Card size H=32 L=172 W=111 mm

H = 1.25984252 inches
L = 6.77165354 inches
W = 4.37007874 inches

Question 5

is this card good for gaming?

Accepted Answer

NO IT WAS DOA OUT OF YHR BOX. AND THE REPLACEMENT WAS ALSO BAD SO I GOT RIPPED OFF

IF IT HAD WORKED IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BARE MIN GAMING CARD FOR SOME GAMES

Question 6

can i use GT-730 2gb DDR3 PCI in DDR2 motherboard ?

Accepted Answer

I'm using this video card on an older Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H motherboard (which uses DDR2 RAM) with no problems at all. I believe the DDR3 refers to the memory in the video card itself, not the motherboard.  For reference, I'm using an AMD Athlon II X2 240 CPU and 4GB of PC2-6400 (DDR2) Geil RAM. Everything runs fine and the graphics are way faster than before.

Question 7

Is this card direct x 11 compatible?

Accepted Answer

yes, it will also be DX12 compatible

Question 8

Will this card work with my am3 mcp61m-m3 motherboard?

Accepted Answer

This card will work fine with that ECS board specified. It is an OK budget GPU.  It doesn't need a extra power and will be fine in a budget build.  Make sure your power supply is up to the task as a low powered PSU might cause hiccups. I just popped one in a Dell Optiplex for a client and it works like a charm. It's not a huge card but definitely good for a HTPC. Make sure your case has room for it and there is good airflow as it puts out a little heat.

Question 9

Is this video card compatible with MSI mobo FM2-A55M-E33 ??

Accepted Answer

I have no experience with the AMD FM2 line of motherboards.  I have several AMD AM2+ thru AM3+ motherboards with Phenom II and FX-series CPUs.  But there should be no issues with the PCI-e slot technology, which works across the board with all AMD as well as all Intel-based motherboards.  If your motherboard has one or more conventional PCI-e slots, there should be no problem with any brand of PCI-e video card.

Question 10

I am running dual monitors and dual projectors; will this card work for that?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but I would suggest running the same resolution on both displays if at all possible.
