Will new motherboard work with my GPU?
Last response: in Motherboards
Hi,
My wife is currently looking to upgrade her motherboard to increase performance as she does a lot of video editing and graphical work. looking around to make sure i found a compatible motherboard i stumbled across a confusing situation with PCI-E slots.
This is my wife's GPU: (AMD Radeon HD 6870) http://tinyurl.com/6awy3k8
And this is the motherboard i was looking at: http://tinyurl.com/co8rp58
The question i have is will they be compatible? the GPU says it requires a PCI Express 2.1 x16 bus interface and the MOBO is listed as having 1 PCI Express 2.0 x16 (@x4)
Does this mean it will not run at max speed? or does this only apply if i installed a second PCI-E 3.0 card?
Thanks in advance.
