Description

Do the Intel® Arc™ Graphics Cards work in the PCIe 2.0 slot? Even if performance would drop, would it still support it?

To successfully install and run Intel Arc Graphics, it is necessary to have a full-size PCI Express 3.0 (or newer) x16 slot. The Intel Arc Series is not compatible with PCIe 2.0.
