G92 in DFI Ultra-D

[PWatterson]

Will it work?

I cannot seem to find out whether or not the Ultra-D is a PCI-E 1.1 or 1.0a or w/e. I know it needs to be at least 1.1 to work.

Also, would one these cards (8800GTS 512mb (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130312)) be bottlenecked greatly by this set-up? The rig in question as an Opty170 at 2.9GHz with a couple gigs of RAM?

If it does not work, are there any others cards that would be considered a decent upgrade, without having to completely rebuild?

There are people over at DFI-Street that are running G92 cards In the Ultra/SLI D MB's.

My 8800GTS 512 @ 800/1050 with a Core2 (e6400) @ 3.2 pulled 11016 in 3dmark 06

I then overclocked my processor to 3.6 because I thought my score was really low, ran 3dmark 06 again and got 13969. My e6400 @ 3.2 was bottlenecking my card...I couldn't believe it.
