When I made my computer a made it with a cheap Mobo and it only has a X8 PCI e slot will it work with my new card replaceing my 8600GT 512mb (overheating pile of s*** , is also X16.) Sapphire HD 4670 is my new card. P.s I Needed a fast responce so this is why i am putting it in "Fast Threads" rather than "Hardware" Thanks in advance! Edit: If you really dont like it here move it to hardware.
I remember a while back I used to run an X8 AGP card on my X4 AGP motherboard, I don't think that PCI-e would be any different. I also found this: [url]http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=9382[/url]
Well thats even better i got a cheap one! I did not even need to buy the posh X16 Bus! I had a look at this aswell [url]http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/pci-express-2.0,1915-9.html[/url]
The card will run only that it will have less bandwidth available for use
