Hi,
I have an abit ab9 mobo and I'm looking at getting a new gfx card.
I can't tell what version of pci-e my board has but I'm guessing it's 1.1 as I bought it in January 2007, just as 2.0 seems to have been introduced.
The cards I'm looking at say they are 2.1
I have read this would not stop them working but would it cause some sort of bottleneck if I use a pci 2.1 card in a 1.1 slot? The 6950s look tempting, going from a 3870.
