    bottleneck but upgrade worth it still?

    battlefield 3 multiplayer with 7850 low fps

    Hi, I just realized GPU-Z showing my card running at pci-E x16 1.1 and that my card supports v3.0. Will this hurt performance and how can i fix this? i just built this budget(upgrade) pc. The motherboard is a MSI socket FM2 .
