 PCI x16 motherboards and 2.0 gfx cards
|
|
|
|
I'm looking to purchase a 8800gt, which is a pci 2.0. The only motherboards that support that seem to run in the 300$ area. So my question is, can a PCI x16 motherboard, support a PCI 2.0 gfx card?
The card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130303
The motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128059
or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16813128053R...

I've been reading that even the new GT and 512MB GTS doesn't use the full bandwidth of old PCI-E 1.0.

So there is no point in getting 2.0 yet and yes a x16 board will be fine with 2.0 cards. My System: Hybr!d
