Hi all,
I have a bfg 680i sli board which has the old lga 775 socket.
I use to have a e6300 and upgraded this to a q6600 last year as this is the quicket cpu the motherboard can handle.
I use to have a 8800gts 640mb and was given a free upgrade to a leadtek 250gts 512mb card after an rma.
My rig has 8gb of quad set ram from ocz pc6400.
Anyway games are beginning to slow down and cod black ops even with AA off is only getting about 33-50 fps.
Now my question is this.
Is my board limiting the card?
From what i can see my board has two pcie 16x slots but i am unsure whether it does or does not have pcie 2.0.
So is my board forcing the card to 1.1 and this is causing the graphics slow down with the new highend games or do i just need a new gpu?
Also would a 400 series work on my board and would it not being pcie 2.0 limit its performance in anyway?
So if i do need a new card what would you suggest as an interim measure if my boards limiting things or a recommendation for a 400 series card that would work on my board.
Thats pretty much it.
Thanks!
