Best PCI 2.0 card?

[Silent UK]

Currently using a overclocked 460gtx 1gb.

Just wondering what are the best options for cards as everything current gen/last gen seems to of switched to PCI 3.0 and I'm not ready yet to make the jump from my Q9650/780I etc.

Don't really have a budget but would like a nice boost in performance to make it worth the upgrade. Oh and for what its worth playing at 1920x1200

Cheer's

You can use any of the PCI-E 3.0 cards in a PCI-E 2.0 slot...
they are backward compatible

Is that the case with all 3.0 cards? I take it the card would be limited with my still using 2.0 though? (I'm not sure on the difference between 2.0 and 3.0)

The 780i has 3 x16 slots as I'm sure a x8 would limit it more etc

yes, all 3.0 cards are backward compatible to 2.0.
Running a PCI-E 2.0 at 8X will be enough.

Fantastic! Time for a upgrade I think then

What card are you going for?

Well I've just got 2x6pins so thinking of going for a 760 (nice jump from 460) although shame the memory jumps only to 2gb's which seems bad. Looking at the cards though they seem to need 1x8pin and 1x6pin

The KFA2 doesn't @ 199.99

Looks good to me, plus I'll save £10 and just overclock it
