What would you do if the tension mechanism broke when trying to replace the video card?

Great guide, it really helped me. But I have a question: Some video cards say PCIE 2.0 or 2.1. How do I know which version of my computer and PCIE versions compatible?

@ Klimessss Literally nothing has changed, the cards can be better, but the setup is the same. Everything in this guide is still true today.

LOL! There was protective film on the radiator of the card, it does not delete it. FAIL
