I wont to know Im buying a HIS Hightech Radeon HD4850 IceQ 4 Turbo 512MB and my motherboard only has a PCI x16 port so will PCI express 2.0 work with a PCI x16 port?|||There are Two versions of PCI-Express being used for graphics cards, right now.
PCI-Express 1.1 version.
PCI-Express 2.0 version.
The 16X refers to 16 Lanes.
16 Lanes used for graphics data (Information)
The data is transferred back and forth across these 16 lanes.
PCI-Express is a Technology.
PCI-Express 2.0 is Backward Compatible with PCI-Express 1.1
You can use a graphics card based on the PCI-E 2.0 technology, in a PCI-E 1.1 slot.
You won't get the full capability of the PCI-E 2.0 graphics card.
You WON'T NOTICE it either!
You may drop some frame rates.
2 to 4 frame rates.
You WON'T notice this.
Use the PCI-E 2.0 card, and be happy.
MAKE SURE, you have a power supply, that will supply enough power for the HD4850 card.|||Yes it will but will not have the full speed card is capable of.|||i thought i just answered this? yes it will i have the same situation
