P7P55D Montherboard compatible with newer Nvidia cards?

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660

I have an Asus P7P55D motherboard, but I want to get a newer Nvidia video card (listed above) because I want to switch to a 3D monitor. However, I'm worried it might not be compatible. Does anyone know? The mobo has the P55 chipset and has CrossfireX tech but not SLi.



I plan to upgrade the mobo later, but I'm in a rush to get the 3D monitor because I damaged mine, and it needs a Nvidia video card to enjoy the 3D (specifically, it's the ASUS vg278h 3D monitor).

Never heard of any issues with p55 /pcie 2.0 with fermi or kepler.
I'm on p55 myself.

as long as its got pcie, even 1.1, it will work. the pcie 3.0 cards are backward compatible and performance wont be bottle-necked unless you are using very powerful cards on very high settings on many monitors at once.
But for the SLi thing, you need to be careful cos some of the n-cards like 295,490,590,690 are essentially 2 GPU SLied on one PCB, so it wont work on your mobo.

The op didn't ask about the 2nd part, but your info is off. Any motherboard can run ONE dual gpu card , because the communication happens within the card. The motherboard needs to be SLI ready when using 2 separate pci-e slots. You need a bridge and the motheboard needs to be SLI certified.

The OP was asking because some 2.1 spec video cards had issues being recognized on older 1.1 motherboards. Those older m/b's probably could have issues with some 3.0 video cards. All issues seem resolved past those 1.1 m/b's.

I guess my mobo is a 2.0, so from what I'm reading, the chances of there being issues should be close to nil. So, thanks!
