Getting a PCIe 2.0 Card for an old PCIe 1.0 Mobo

[coverfire101]

I am thinking to buy 550 Ti or Similar GPU for my old computer.

Processor: Core2duo E7500
Mother Board: DG41RQ

The 550 Ti is a PCIe 2.0 Card while my old Mobo has 1 PCIe x16 slot. Will the Motherboard (PCIe 1.0)/CPU bottleneck the PCIe 2.0 card or it is good to go for it?

there is no problem to use an pci 2.0 gpu in pci 1.0 slot they are all backward compatible

Yes they are compatible but do they perform at full power?

Wow, I thought it would be needing a 450 PSU.
Good find!! Thanks.

I am not buying a 5670 but just curious:

They both have the same core speed but one is DDR3 and the other is DDR5.
Is the DDR criteria taken into consideration while deciding the Performance of a card?

I had the same doubt, but DEY123 clarified that in the 3rd Post.

it doesnt matter slow or fast it works that matter and it will work and for speed there will be not a big differences between 1.0 and 2.0.

Yes he did. Forgot about it my bad. If the results are basically the same I wonder if it's worth it to buy a mobo with 2.0 PCIe slot

ddr5 will be more good because it gives better performance and fast then ddr3.

I think there is may be a difference if one is buying a higher end card. 6670 and all are the mid-high end cards.
Anyways All Mobo's now come with PCIe 2.0 or better.
