ip-35 question

[alanwest09872]

does anyone know if the ip-35 has a pci-e 2.0 slot. i looked in the manual and couldnt find anything and i checked there website still no luck. The only reason im asking is ithink the new nvidia cards will need a pci-e 2.0 slot and i want to get one.

No. NO GPU will ever saturate PCI-E 16x for a few more years.

Dear Al,

OK, the Serpent is faster than I am....

P35 chipset is PCIe 1.1 only:

However, like he said, that is just fine for this generation of GPUs.

The new nVidia cards do use PCIe 2.0, but, they are backwards compatible.

As Serpent R said, you won't fill the PCIe 1.1 pipeline, so, no need to make PCIe 2.0 a requirement.
