I have the same problem too pal ...but they say that every mobo that has PCI e Slot for VGA it will accept any kind of VGA card . But now i am stuck on that will PCI version will bother me or not ....ASK that if you can ..to not get in trobule ...& if you'd had answer please report me my friend .

because currently i'm using nvidia 8500gt so I was thinking of getting a new graphic card..

Well, as long as your mobo has a pcie slot on it then you can use almost any pcie card.
This is your mobo:

right?

It has a pcie slot then you can use almost ANY pcie card, like HD5670.
But get HD5670 2.0 version and not 2.1, because older mobo usually only has 1.0 slot instead of 2.0. So ANY HD5670 2.0 should work on your motherboard.

But my mobo is rev 1.1 ? what it means ..its 1.1 ..isnt it ? so can i get 2.1 of it ? if no ....so please suggest NASICHARSIEW & Brands which are 2.0 not 2.1 ..please..... i mean for 5670 & 5850

Let's make this simple, if your mobo only has 1.0 or 1.1 pcie slot version then get 2.0 pcie card to make sure it's work and NOT 2.1 card.

This is HD 5670 2.0 version:

And this is HD 5850 2.0 version:

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is ver2.0 and 2.1? ._.

it conserns to VGA cards ... NEW 5000 series are 2.0 or 2.1 not higher not lower ....so for see them geting matched better on mobos .... we see if our mobo can support them ...as our friend said ...1.1 or 1.0 mobos can only accept 2.0 VGA cards ...2.1 maywork incorrect . so first find out what is your PCI slot version ..then go for 5670 or something else .

Pcie 2.0 version doubles the bandwidth over version 1.1, while version 2.1 adds, error reporting, I think.

 

[Guest]
