Would I benefit from PCIe 2.0?

Searched and couldn't find anything, and debated whether to put this in General Motherboards or Graphics Cards.

I have a GeForce 9800 GX2, which is a PCIe 2.0 x16 card. My motherboard only has PCIe x16 slots (ASUS P5W DH Deluxe). Obviously, the card works as-is. However, everything I'm seeing says that PCIe 2.0 x16 has double the throughput of a PCIe x16 slot. Is my motherboard bottlenecking my video card by having non-PCIe 2.0 x16 slots?

Most likely you are fine. I definitely would not go through the hassle of getting a new motherboard.

current cards only benefit ~0-5% from switching to PCIe 2.0

Not worth it

That was the answer I was preferring to hear =)

Thanks much for the info!
