My 8800gt is consistently running btw 95-105 celcius. I've already taken it apart, cleaned and added AS5, but without much effect, except the fan runs quieter now. So - I plan on building my new rig when Battlefield 3 comes out, but I want to get a gpu now, that I can SLI later on. I will probably be building with the new SB ~2500k. I'm most likely getting the Radeon HD 5770, based on TH article, but I don't know it is compatible with my current setup. Sorry, but I'm still using XP and DX9. I want to know how the new gpus work with the different PCI connections. Is 2.1 compatible with 2.0, 1.0 1.0 X16. I don't know the difference. My mobo right now is (Motherboard Name DFI LANParty DK P35-T2 / P35-T2R/S). Everest also says it has (Expansion Slots 3 PCI, 2 PCI-E x1, 1 PCI-E x16). Will this card work in this mobo. My new rig will use Win7 64, I guess DX11. Any info would be appreciated.
