PCI X 16X 1.0 bottleneck for new card ?

[The_Mistic]

Hi everyone !
I got a mother board that support PCi X 16X 1.0, I would like to know if I upgrade my video card with a 4870X2 if I am gonna loose a lot of performance due to the limitation of PCi X 1.0 ? Currently I own a 8800GT ...

Thank You

No, it shouldn't (if it dose you probably will only loose 5fps max). You may notice it if you CrossFire.

i dont think so but id recommend getting a pcie 2.0 board as soon as its in your budget.

It probably won't but why upgrade now. The 8800GT is still a pretty decent card wait maybe 5 months. Just my opinion

The X2's are the only ones that get close to bottlenecking. If you're worried, you could just get a 4870 (1). What is probably more important though is the rest of your system (CPU, RAM, MB, PS, etc.)
