I have a modified Acer Aspire T180 desktop PC and it's time to upgrade the video card as that's the piece of hardware that's slowing me down at this point.
I currently have an EVGA Nvidia 8600GT which has a PCI Express x16 connection on it and my MB also has a PCI Express x16 slot.
I went on Newegg and most of the cards now have a PCI Express 2.0 x16 connection on them...
Can I plug a new x16 2.0 card into my old x16 port?|||Yes, & there will be no performance loss whatsoever.
The higher bandwidth on a 2.0 slot is way overkill & was deigned with the future in mind.
There are virtually no single home user video cards presently in production that will bottleneck on a 1.x slot.
regards,
Philip T|||Yep, they're backwards compatible.|||yes. and oyu really won't loose that much performance either.
It will work with out a hitch.
Hope this helps
