    I have an old graphics card Gigabyte Geforce 210 (PCIe2.0) and I want to use it on that chipset
    Intel Q75 Express (PCIe x16 3.0)
    So I wonder if this is possible without causing problems ?

    my pc
    I5 3470 CPU
    2x4 gb samsung ram 1600
    320 w power supply

    Of course, it just runs at PCI-E 2.0 as long as you can find drivers for it
