First post, guys.
So I bought a PC about 6 to 7 months ago with an HIS Radeon 6850 GPU and a MSI A75MA-G55 motherboard(and a tx650 PSU, 16GB RAM, and a quad-core 2.9 processor).
I'm playing on a 24" monitor and 1080p and 1920x1080 resolution, and the 6850 has been working pretty fine and all, but I kind of feel like I should upgrade.
I was looking at the ASUS Radeon 7950 for an upgrade, but it looks like it needs a PCI 3.0 x16 slot.
The MSI A75MA-G55 motherboard appears to say it only has a PCI 2.0 x16 slot.
Does this mean I'll have to upgrade to a new motherboard if I want a substantial GPU upgrade?
