I dont have much knowledge on motherboards/video cards but if somebody could help i would really appreciate it.
At the moment i have a really old PC (around 5-7 years) and i game quite a lot or at least try. my mother board at the moment is a Gigabyte GA-73pvm-s2h and im not sure what video cards it will support. My cousin has a HD5970 that he says he can give me and i have been looking around and people say that my board doesn't support PCI-e x16 2.1 but somebody said that they emailed gigabyte and they gave him a bios update (F9F i believe) and it allowed the card to be backward compatible with 1.1. Is this true, can i get this card?
If what i am saying is completely wrong can anybody tell me what graphics cards i can buy that aren't completely bad and will allow me to run some games higher?
Thanks for the help!
