PCI-Express OR PCI-Express V2.0

[Joester]

Hello

Recently i decided i was going to upgrade my computers hardware...
I was going to get a graphics card..
The card is a Sapphire ATI Radeon HD3450 512MB DDR2 ( Dual DVI, TV Out), PCI Express V2.0...
My computer has a normal PCI-Express slot...
This graphics card got a PCI-Express V2.0...
Will it work on my normal PCI-Express slot

Please Reply ASAP

Thanks...What would you Graphics card would you recommend buying..
I want to spend around R700 on a card

[Mow]

save some casg and buy the ati 4670. just over a grand and loads of performance for you money. else look at the 3850 and 4650 cards as well.

9600gt's go for roundabout R1400 now if you want something that wll last a bit.

[Joester]

I just want something that can improve my display and not slow down the games i play.. max budget is R1000

[justinufo]

What games you gonna run?

[Joester]

flight simulator and command and conquer

[justinufo]

Command and conquer 3?You need a decent gpu for that.Flight simulator is more cpu dependant.

look around for a 2nd hand 8800gts 320mb they should go for R1000 now. those cards are well worth it. i had 2 in sli not so long ago...

Firestrm, Ya but its dated. Granted, its probably more powerful than the 4670, but its older.

[Firestrm_ZA]

Prime, it may be dated but bang for buck is what Joester, is after and that card can give it easily.... and with an aftermarket cooler later on it will still keep up with the middle range 4xxxx ati cards.... (just)
