is DS3 PCIE 2.0/1.1?

**magnethead** · 06-03-2008, 12:43 AM

I have the P965-DS3 mobo- will the MSI NX8800GT 512M OC GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card work on it?

Also, are there any known issues if I add the MSI Tuner Card TV@nywhere Plus card into the mix? It's standard PCI.

Says your board is pci-e 16x. Doesn't say if its 1.0 or 1.1

According to the one table I've seen, Intel 965 is 1.0a. Bugger!

well that sucks. Gues i'm stuck on the 7800..oh well. more money saved :p

edit- browsing google, apparently people ahve somehow gotten 88's to run on the 965...but not without issues. I'll take the 214 dollars and put it toward college..the 78 runs fine anyways.
