[Jeremy768]

Hi, i jus bought a hd7850 recently... I m currently usin it on a pci e1.1 motherboard... As such, wad does it means when gpuz show me pci e 3.0 x16@ pci e 1.1 x16? What does it mean? Thanks for ur guys help'

it means that you have a card that is pci-e 3 running on a pci-e 1.1 slot.

bandwidth is still ok since the 7850 isnt too high performing to saturate the pci-e 1.1 bus. you will see a performance increase when you go to pci-e 3 motherboards but the performance as of now is ok

you would be geting 90% of your card performance nothing to worry what is your processor if you have such a old board
