Questions about ASUS GeForce GT 710 SL 2GD5

Yes it works, downwards PCIe is compatible

Hello danobano According to the manual, the ASUS P5WDG2-WS mainboard is equipped with 2 PCIe x16 version 1.0 slots. PCIe cards and slots are generally backwards compatible with counterparts of all previous generations. In each case, transmission takes place on the basis of the fastest common protocol. This means, for example, that a PCIe 1.0 card in a 3.0 slot only transfers at 2.5 GT/s, whereas a PCIe 2.0 card in the same slot transfers at 5 GT/s. The operating system is practically irrelevant. The operating system plays practically no role. Windows 8.1 immediately installed the Nvidia drivers itself and the upgrade to Win10 was trouble-free. My reason for installing it was a new monitor with resolution 2560x1440 pixels (via HDMI 1.4), draws super sharp. Greetings wv

I'm not sure I understand the question correctly. You can connect three monitors, yes. What exactly you mean by "so that three independent screens can be displayed" is not clear to me. You simply have an "extended desktop" that spans three screens. Depending on the settings, you can define whether the three screens should function "individually" or as "one big one". This means, for example, that a game is displayed on three screens (depending on the game and the performance of the hardware) or only on one screen. I.e. watch TV on the left, game in the middle, website open on the right - or something like that. Basically nothing new, rather "tried and tested", these possibilities have been around for over 10 years. Max. connectable monitors: 3 x Connections HDMI Type A: 1 x DVI-D (Dual Link): 1 x VGA: 1 x
