PCI-E video card question
Hi,
I am going to build a computer based on a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3R mobo. The video card will be a Nvidia 9800 GTX. The mobo has a PCI-E x16 slot but the video card needs a PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot. What is the difference and will it work in the mobo? Thanks. Raymo...

The 9800GTX is fully backwards compatible with the PCIe 1.1 slot in the GA-EP35-DSR3 board. There will no issues. Or performance loss.

The 2.0 spec. allows for more memory bandwidth, but in real-world games, and applications, no graphics card can really push that much bandwidth. The 2.0 sec. is backwards compatable with PCI-E 1.x slots. I'm running an ATI HD3850 PCI-E x16 2.0 card on my PCI-E x16 1.0 slot mainboard.
