No, you don’t have to upgrade the motherboard. PCI Express 2.0 is backward compatible with PCI express 1.0 standard. Even though PCI Ex 1.0 has a lower bandwidth (data speed) compared to PCI Ex 2.0, you will not see any difference because PCI Ex 1.0 has more than enough bandwidth for a single card.

I don’t think the bandwidth of v2.0 is fully utilized by any card that exists today :no:.. Maybe in the future with faster cards it will be, and maybe if you run SLI/Crossfire dual/triple VGA cards it might help. But for you it will NOT make any difference.

    podi differance ekak thiyei PCI-X 2.0 ekata wada. samahara wita ehema nowennath puluwan. PCI-X 1.0 ekata use kala kiyala GPU eke samahara features wada nokara thiyenneth na. frame rate eke podi wenasak thiyewi.

    Game eke wadi barak ganne GPU eken nisa GPU ekai godak important.

    PCI-X 2.0 ena mobo wala chipset aluth nisa eva kalin chipset walata wada (G31,33 P35 etc) performance tikak wadi ekama RAM,processor use karanakota.

    thama PCI-X aluth nisa gana wadi. thawa tika dawasakin eva adu wei. ethakota mobo ekak ganna eka thamai hodama de.

    Foxconn 45CMX board eke 9600GT VGA ekata wada G33 board eke 9600GT tikak speed wada kara mage yaluwekuge machine ekaka. (mobo only changed. ram,cpu same)
    me dekema PCI-X 1.0. chipset wala wenasa nisa thamai speed differance.

    habai eka un noticeable. performance test eke frame rate 3-5 ka wenasak witharai.
