For pre-built PCs, you probably won't have it or be able to find the information online. To find out how big your GPU can be, you could try looking at your case manual, assuming you have that. If your motherboard lacks an x16 PCIe slot (see above), you should plan on upgrading your motherboard and likely your CPU, RAM and possibly power supply. Theoretically you might be able to finagle an x1 to x16 PCIe adapter solution, but it's messy and just asking for trouble. If it doesn't, we recommend forgetting about upgrading just your graphics card.
HOW TO PUT GRAPHICS ON CARS ZMODELER 3 PC
Upgrading your PC with a new graphics card is easy, then, assuming your PC actually has a PCIe x16 slot. We won't shed even a single tear for the old ISA, VLB and AGP standards. (There are potential exceptions, but mostly they're caused by bad implementations of PCIe or bad firmware.) That's pretty awesome when you think about it, especially in light of previous standards that were often deprecated. You can put PCIe x1 cards in x16 slots, or have x16 slots with only x4 link widths, and everything in between. From the original PCIe 1.0a/1.1 up through the latest PCIe 4.0, and even looking forward to future PCIe 5.0 and 6.0 standards, in theory, any card that can fit in a slot will work. The tremendous backward compatibility of PCI Express ensures that even the newest, highest-end graphics cards can plug into a motherboard from the George W.
