Hello! My friend has a HD 6800 series gpu and looking to upgrade so he wants to give his card to me but doesnt know if its a 6850 or 6870 (those are the only 6800 series right?)
My motherboard is: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4726#ov
I see on amd's site that both the 6870 and 6850 are PCI express 2.1
Will my motherboard be able to run them?
If it is able to run them which slot should of these two should I use?
[EDIT] I should have mentioned my CPU is a AMD A8 7600 APU with integrated r7 graphics - is it compatible with the HD 6800 series? Will only one of them be able to be running simultaneously? Are they going to work as dual graphics combination?
Thank you for reading my question!
