hey there, im looking buying a new card, however im wondering about pci x16 1.0 cross compatibility with pci 2.0. I've read that all PCI2.0 cards should be back compatible with PCI x16 1.0, is this true?
In this case, is it worth buying a newer 98xx series nvidia card running on PCI2.0 for my system?
Are 88xx series cards 2.0 or 1.x? Ive seen some info indicating both, would a high end 88xx card be more worthwhile?
Im basically wondering if a) a newer card will actually work, (im running a Ga 965P D54 mobo btw) and b) will it work at 100% in the x16 slot, will there be a huge downgrade in its power, or wont it be hugely noticeable if at all?
