ATI Radeon HD 3870, and compatible with PCI Express 1.0? - 2008/06/06 21:22
After buying a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT graphics card, found that it wasn't compatible with PCI Express 1.0, it is only backwards compatible to PCI Express 1.1. There is a way of flashing the cards BIOS to make it a compatible, but that seems a bit tricky. I was told by the technical guy to drop down to the GeForce 7 series, but I want a good quality card that will handle new games, so I looked at ATI and the Radeon HD 3870T seems like the card for me. Does anyone know if the ATI Radeon HD 3870 suffers the same problem? As I'm looking for alternatives around a similar price range. Any help is very appreciated. Thanks.
