Computer Gurus - Technical Graphics Question

Recommended Posts

Just upgraded my aging 8800 GTS with a ATI HD 4850 X2 card. I'm a little out of the loop with board technology but I noticed the card was a pci-e 2.0 version . . works fine in my aging 2 year old intel 975 chipset based motherboard however. . . but my motherboard is just standard 1.x pci-e 16x.

 

My question is. . . should I upgrade my motherboard to the newest 2.0 pci-e version or will there be no real performance benefits there?

 

I've read online. . with mixed reviews. Wanted some opinions here of people who have maybe upgraded recently.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

System specs:

Q6600 Quad-Core

Intel 975i Mobo

4GB DDR2 667 MEMORY

ATI HD4850 X2 GRAPHICS
