According to the motherboard specs listed by Gigabyte, you can't even really
use the graphic cards on the 'supported graphic cards' list published by
Gigabyte.

The mainboard specs claim that the PCI-Express X16 slot runs in X1 mode.
While certain graphic cards might be OK with that (including a long list of
mostly gigabyte branded cards published by gigabyte), it is NOT something
you want to do

I'd advise you to seriously consider buying a new motherboard BEFORE buying
a graphics card. The one you own is defective by design. If you run a X16
card in X1 mode, you'd be almost better off just to stick with the onboard
graphics instead of an add-in video card. -Dave
