It's good for a Nvidia chipset motherboard. 780i is better. Ideally, use iIntel chipset boards such as x38/48 for performance, and p35 for value.

OUCH!! the GA-X48-DS4 would have rocked but now im pretty much limited to 750i 780i and the 600's
PS: this might be a newb question, but if i had a PCI tv tuner would it work with a PCIe port?

If this early benchmark for 4870 is real, you might consider Crossfire as a viable alternative to sli. X38/48 supports crossfire as 2x PCIE2.0 16x, which you can think of as 2x PCIE32x. 4870 is to be released at the end of may, which is this month.

A PCI tv tuner plugs into PCI slot, not PCIE.
