I have an Asus P5K motherboard in my system, and recently the graphics card has decided it's had enough and won't work anymore. I've had a look at the current line up of cards on offer and noticed they all seem to be for PCI Express 2.0 or 2.1. Since this is not mentioned in the mobo spec I'm assuming it is 1.0 or maybe 1.1?
The card I was thinking of getting was the XFX ATI Radeon HD 6870 Black Edition. Would this be compatible with my motherboard? And would the lack of 2.1 support bottleneck the graphics so much that there is no point spending more than £35 on a new graphics card?
