Could I get some help please? I am looking to upgrade my graphics card to a HD 4850 here from an 1800GTO. I assume thats a good value buy and is just in my price range (I want to play GTA 4!!!).
But because I haven't been paying attention to the tech world much for a long while, I really dont know if it will work properly in my system. I've got a DQ6 (rev 1 which I dont know if its PCIe 1, 1.1 or 2). I've also got a Seasonic 550W (I think, again, not 100% sure). Does this have the right connectors? I really dont know. So anyone, please, who keeps up to date with this stuff, can you tell me if this card will work?
It should work fine, from what I've read most PCIE 2.0 slots are backwards compatible with 1.0. The power supply should be adequate as well. And I do recommend a 4850 I just got one for my new build, it's great!
