well
they said its gonna arrive by christmas - http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2007/05/22/pc..._by_christmas/1
but already implanted in 2900xt
what will happen to the high end dual gpu config boards of 939 / AM2 and 775?

pci-e 2.0?
any special?

more power input
double bandwith
and more
but im worried bout my ati xpress 3200
haha

but last time got 1 forumer said that card these days dont even fully ultilize pci-e x16

it backward compatible, so it can be pair with pci-e 1.1, need to attach pci-e power cable.

Is it PCI-Express 2.0 = Direct x11?

the latest direct x i heard is 10.1...

PCI-E 2.0 is hardware and dx is software and the latest one dx10.1, dx10 compatible with all agp, pci-e 1.1 and pci-e 2.0

scored!!!
ahaha

anyways, i only know from one of asus' site that the x38 platform will support pcie 2.0 tapi im just sad thinking about socket 939
aha

Alamak so should I upgrade now?or wait until pcie 2.0 release only upgrade? The last time I upgraded my AGP GFX card pcie 1 was released, Now I want to upgrade from AGP to PCIE 1 this release * headache*. Technology is so hard to catch up with

pcie 2.0 relase already, got few x38 based mobo out there.. all x38 mobo support pcie 2.0

not just asus, got gigabyte, msi, abit and foxconn also

Correct me if I am wrong. From what i know, the advantage of PCI-E 2.0 over 1.0 are below:
1. Double bandwidth
2. Draw more power for Graphics Card (PCI-E 2.0 is 150W and PCI-E 75W)
3. GC manufacturer save more cost by working out less component. ?You can expect cheaper GC compare to PCI-E 1.0 card.

The X38 and AMD RD790FX will support PCI-E 2.0.

However, current PCI-E 1.0 user won't need to worry as need a extra power source needed (PCI-E Express cable). One more thing, ATI card require PCI-E express card need to plug in no matter it is in PCI-E 2.0 or 1.0 environment. nVidia not sure.

Performance wise, it only benefited in Crossfire or SLI time. About 10%. In single card time, no different as it is not yet fully utilize the bandwidth in PCI-E 1.0.

Nothing really innovative if you ask me, as it just encourages GC companies to let their solutions consume even more power. No point in upgrading for this alone if you ask me.

This thread already exist. Here

Since the PCI-2.0 is cater for new generation GPU, that must require high power. Any PSU suite that at the moment? Any PSU support PCI-2.0 now?

get at less 550w.. due pci-e 2.0 consume more power

new graphic chip G92 and RV670 are using pci-e 2.0 tech ..

may i ask?? any benchmark result can share here when using pci-E 2.0??

Any good brand recommeneded? i was told to get Enermax....is it good??

need to change to new motherboard to support the pci-e 2.0?
