Sorry that i'm al little behind the times, little might be an understatement.
I need to upgrade my Vid card 2900xt cf as my second card died, to either a single 4870x2 or single 5870.
But my P35-DQ6 MB only has a PCI-e rev of 1.1.
I know that there is a small speed drop for the 4870, but will the 5870 be bottlenecked due to the 2.1 rev support of the 5870.
I have read that the 5870 saturates the pci-e on the P35????
