Hey I have a question about video cards and pci express 2 vs pci express 1. now i know that 2.0 is double the bandwidth but what i want to know is how much of the banwidth is actually used when using a video card with pci 1? I do alot of video editing and watch high def movies and i play some games like c&c but im not a heavy gamer. my specs are as follows
P5k e wifi
3 gig corsair ddr2 800
e6600 (will be upgrading to q9450)
evga 8600 gts
At what point does the bandwith get bottlenecked or does it get bottlednecked at all? Im just wondering if i should get a 9600gt and use on my current rig or must i get a x38 or p45 mobo when it comes out to use a 9600gt so my videocard doesnt become a weak link in my rig. I plan on upgrading to Nehalem when it comes out so should i leave my set up as is and my 8600 gts is fine until years end? Thanks for any info
