I am looking at finally upgrading this rig and I have my eye on the below motherboard. But from reading around most people say it only does x8 for the pci-e even with only one card.
The official website has:
DFI LP JR P45-T2RS
2 PCI Express (Gen 2) x16 slots
- 2-way CrossFire: One slot operating at x8 (8-lane port) or two slots each operating at x8 (8-lane ports) bandwidth
Now I am only looking at running one HD4870 at this time but how much would I be limited by not being able to run at x16?
There has been a few threads around lately about new versions of the gtx260/280s but they still seem a good chunk more expensive, hence the 4870.
The new rig would be running at 1900x1200.
Do you all think I am being silly by not waiting for the Corei7's to come out as well? I am trying not to break the bank but it if could last another 4years like this current rig I would be happy
ok so I've rambled a bit here...![]()
