If i have a NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS video card what type of slot is that?

I'm trying to figure what what kind of graphic card i can fit into that same slot as a replacement but not sure what kind of slot that is.|||It depends, the 8400GS is available in both PCI-Express x16 and old PCI versions. You'll want to check your computer's motherboard to see what slots it has.

In that picture, the green slot is PCI-E x16. Notice it's indented slightly further in than your regular old PCI slots (the shorter white ones). The really short yellow slots are PCI-E x1



However, the 8400GS is a lousy card, don't waste money on it. For just $10 more you can get cards 3-4 times better, like the GeForce G210, 9500GT & GT220... or Radeon HD 5450 and HD 4650.



-Update-



Most 8400GS cards on Newegg sell for about $30. But look at these:

After it, compare your graphics card with another graphics card slot input.

Btw GeForce 8400 GS uses a single slot fan sink.



New graphics card may require better power supply if is bellow 450 watt and also can require PCI adapter.



For NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT graphics card power supply have to be at least 450watt (At least = enough). That means 500watt power supply is enough for better gaming graphics card.



So that mean GeForce 8800GT requires a little more power than yours graphics and power supply can be weaker than 450watt. If you will go for better graphics card, make sure your power supply is good enough.



Ting Ting Tiding (but slot is not that much important): He have to know what slot his graphics card used before buying, because if he buys the graphic card with wrong slot, his motherboard will not let him to add a graphics card that uses wrong slot.



Proto = For $10 or even $20 more he can't get the new graphics card like 9500GT. At the least must be used, fake or something like that.|||as for ur concern it's a PCI EX x16 1.0 bus slot.



but slot is not that much important. I mean a 2.0 bus speeded graphics card can be run in 1.0 EX x16 slot. it may not give u it's best bt it works fine. 'm using 9800gt 2.0 in my 1.0ex x16 slot. & it's works fine. U should watch out for ur PSU. it must be at least 600w.|||I would recommend you to buy EVGA GeForce GTX460 1024 MB DDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with Lifetime Warranty
