Aspire AXC-705-UR55 PCI slot version

Toshiro · July 2016

I'm looking to purchase a graphics card for my pc, but cannot find what version (1, 2, or 3) the slots are.

The product description page only list:

Number of PCI Express x1 Slots: 1

Number of PCI Express x16 Slots: 1

Number of Mini PCI Express Slots: 1

I appreciate any added info, thanks!

Hello,

The graphic board must be installed in the PCI Express x16 slot (the long blue slot). You'll need a Low Profile (bracket) and UEFI compatible graphic board. Your desktop is equipped with a PSU of 220W.

For information, here are the original ones:

It's PCI Express 2.0 but that shouldn't matter because PCI Express 3.0 is backward compatible. I have the same mainboard and use a PCI Express 3.0 graphics card. It works fine. There's no performance loss.
