Looking for a new graphics card compatible with PCIx x16. This will be used on an older MOBO (Abit AN8 Ultra) that has a first generation slot - NOT v2.0 or v2.1. Yes, the newer version cards are suppose to be backward compatible but I ran into problems trying to use a Sapphire Vapor-X HD 5770 - computer would not post. I found many others with similar problem when trying to use the Radeon 57xx cards in a PCIx v1.0 slot. May be related to an AMD based MOBO with nForce4 chipset.
I will be building a new PC for sim racing but money is tight right now. Thought I could get the graphics card now and the rest later.
Anyone using a newer, good performing, card in a first generation PCIx x16 slot MOBO? Suggestions?
Thanks...
