...for those few nvidia's next gen. cards fans
GTX 280 Review 97%:
Do you think there will be a significant difference between the standard PCI-E 16x Vs the 2.0? I currently have a standard 16x and was wondering if a new motherboard would be worth my while for the new card... Thanks!
You know most of the current gen cards are PCI-Ex16 2.0 right?ReDevilJR wrote:

I don't think so. Pci-e 2.0 is mostly related to power, your mobo can output through pci-e slot. Current pci-e 2.0 GFX cards achieve same performance results as the older pci-e 1.0.ReDevilJR wrote:

My "i don't think so" relates to your statement: Do you think there will be a significant difference...

I was referring to my motherboard compatibility. As in, will my motherboard still run the newer cards at full capacity..Flaming_Maniac wrote:

Right, I know it'll be compatible. I'm just curious as far as the new GTX280.. It looks pretty demanding...Sup wrote:

Reason why I ask is because if I can avoid replacing the entire mobo, I'd be one happy camper

Yes, current graphic cards do not saturate PCI-E 1.1 yet.
Yep, I think they'll work. No huge differences between 2.0 and 1.0 tbh..Sup wrote:

Yeah, it's going to draw most of the power from the two six or eight pin plugs it has..Sup wrote:

I think the pci-e 2.0 has twice the bandwidth of a 16x so there might be a slight increase. Expect <10%.ReDevilJR wrote:

Sweet, Thanks guys! Good to hear that I can save some money by keeping the current mobo .. Now off to get the GTX 280, Q9550, & VelociRaptor later this summer..
Make sure your mobo supports Q9550.ReDevilJR wrote:

I posted a review of Veloci here: http://hide.trackr.net/forum/community- … tor-review
Let me know if you want me to provide you with more pics of this HDD.

Your mojo seems to support it, pardon me, mobo.

He's talking about ATi's new cards. I wouldnt critise your choice (yet) but the concencious of the tech comunity is that the Nvidia cards are tbh lackluster in we are being generous. They zap huge amounts of power, give poor yields, and cost a fortune. They will be the quickest around (till August apparantly) but costs a lot to have that title.ReDevilJR wrote:

I would suggest to anyone who could wait, to hold off till August as thats when both manufacturers ranges for this gen will be out and we can make sensible comparisons. If though (like me) you need something by july, I would state that Nvidia will give you the braging rights, but the guys with the ATi cards will be sitting quietly smug with there purchases (again though this assumes the concencious of the community is correct).
Your choice(s). I think I will be going with a 4870 now, and possibly picking up a 4870X2 in August to run together in crossfire
