well i want to build a system and i was checking compatibility
Corsair PSU CS650M 80+ Gold Modular
AMD FX 8320
Gigabyte 970A-UD3P
Crucial DDR3 8GB (2x4)kit 1600MHz Ballistix
Palit GTX-780Ti

the only problem is the pci-e on the M-board is 2.0 while the recomended is 3.0 for the 780ti
the only compatible M-board i found was an asus sabertooth 990fx r2.0 thing
but the stores for a reason don't sell this i can't find this
what can i do? Maybe i can OC the pci-e bus on the gigabyte or that will not work?
(about OCing i know everything,my nice old p4 3.0ghz knows it.Well it is running @ 4.0 GHz)

Hello man


geofelt, an 8320 is 100% adequate for a 780TI, I have heard of people doing 780TI SLI on a FX8340. With the 8320 overclocked, or even at stock he will be fine. The new 337.88 WHQL drivers clear up some inefficient bottlenecking issues, and even I saw significant performance gains.

Putting an PCIe 3.0 card in pcie 2.0 slot is not a big deal.
as you increases your resolution , you will decrease the performence gap between pcie 3.0 card in 3.0 slot and pcie 3.0 card in 2.0 slot.
it is just a matter of 5-7 fps.

well on 1920 x 1280 is my desired resolution but i don't know if it will get any other issues while calculations done on the gpu i'm going to this card in both gaming and autocad untill that point everything is good but what happens when it will be converting the autocad file to G-code? if it is just slowed down a litle no problem but i need accuracy too.
