    Will a 3870 XT Extreme 512MB work with PCI-e 4X?

    Hello guys.

    I want to buy a 3870 XT Extreme 512MB but the problem is that my motherboard is only 4X Pci-e. Will this card work with 4x Pci-e?

    Thanks.

    I have a HD3870 and it seems to work fine in the PCI-E 8x slot on my 975X motherboard.However I suspect that 4x maybe a bit limiting though. I assume you have one of the ASRock motherboards?

    That's correct.

    I currently have an AGP X1950 Pro and I wanted to upgrade.
