    Hi @Destinite    

    The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti uses a PCIe (PCI Express) 3.0 x16 slot interface. It can use other, slower PCIe slots on your motherboard and still operate, although slower. Normally, I would put it in a physical slot that is a PCIe 2.0 x16 or better. So normally i
    f the motherboard has a PEG (Pci Express Graphics) port then it will work, though the data transfer between motherboard chipset and GPU will be at lower speed if the port on the MB is V1.0 or V2.0, because the 1050Ti supports V3.0 but that is not really a big problem, if you are not using high texture settings in games.

    You should use a software utility to check you motherboard model, for example CPU-Z, or look for its specification on Acer's support website, select your country to get the correct manual version.
