Slimpsy1647545505 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 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!
