Hi all,
My 8800gts has died and I need to find a quick replacement without doing a full PC upgrade. I have no idea what to go for though as I'm confused by PCI standards (1.0 and 2.0) and at what point my CPU will cause a bottle neck.
CPU: E6600 Core 2 Duo
Ram: 4 gig
MB: Asus P5W DH Deluxe
OP: Win 7 64 bit
Have been looking at the HD5770 or GTX260 cards. These all seem to be PCI 2.0 so I'm not sure if they are compat. Also, will my CPU just end up slowing these cards down?
Thanks!
