[lablebi]

Hi everyone,

Am not sure if i should upgrade my DG31PR motherboard to a newer one
My Mobo got a Pci Express 1.0 too could there be a difference if i buy myself a good EVGA or MSI motherboard with a more advanced chipset ??

Any kind of answer would be fully appreciated

Thanks in advance

Yes, your motherboard is bottlenecking your GTX 480. The x16 slot on your motherboard is Rev. 1.0. The GTX 580 is x16 Rev. 2.0
