I posted this under 'a little help' but didn't think about the title. It's a little vague in all honesty.

Anyway, thinking about getting the HD 5870 but read somewhere that it was PCI-E 2.1 - not heard of 2.1 before, there a difference? I got the ASUS crosshair formula III if it helps.

Cheers in advance for any hints and tips

Cheers guys, I'll take a ganders at the suggested links when I'm back from work. All sounds quite pleasently hopeful at the moment which is nice having just bought a second 9500 gt and sli bridge for a crossfire mobo.. :s Thought I'd ask the pros first this time.

thanks again
