GeForce 7950 Mobo Compatibility

[imported_Silverturtle]

I recently ordered an MSI GeForce 7950GX2 not realizing it didn't work with all motherboards. I'm using it to replace my overheating X1900XT, which hit a whopping 104 degrees C with ease.

So, I went with the 7950, but I'm not sure if my ASUS P5B P965 is compatible with it. I went to a local computer store to ask them, and they said it would, but I didn't see it on the nVIDIA website.

Will it work? Thanks in advance!

Yes, for the 3948357 time, the 7950GX2 will work with any motherboard that has a x16 PCI-e slot... ANY MOTHERBOARD

Well no need to get all emotional and inflamed. Answering the question will suffice.

Well my reply wasn't supposed to be mean... just honest.

Searching google.com probably wouldn't have hurt...

Thanks for the info. But, when I called nVidia they said it did not work with all motherboards, and at the current time, it wouldn't work with mine. I think I'll trust you guys though.

Yep, I've seen one working in an ASUS (don't know the model) that's not on the list in person... so I know it works 😉

Not so sure it works with ASUS P5B I have a P5B Deluxe and it dosent seem to work for me, I only get about 5000 points in 3dMark 2006, I checked around a bit and that it was people usalluy get with a geforce 7900GT so I am guessing its only using one card.

Does anybody know if you have to initialize something to make it work, checked around a bit in the nvidia driver panel or whatever its called but I couldent find anything.
