Sorry if this is a dumb and repetitive question but I recently bought a 9800GTX+ for my ASUS P5N-E 650i mobo, which has a 1.0 slot I believe and I am wondering how much of a performance hit there is. I did a 3dmark06 benchmark and it was a bit lower than the online sites that show what it should be around. I couldn't think of any reason except that I am on a PCI Express 1.0. Anyone have any numerical as to the difference between running it on 2.0 and 1.0 is? Like 2.0 is 100% or 50% faster than running on a 1.0.
Oh, thanks. Also would my CPU hold back the GPU testing in 3dmarks even though it's specifically testing the GPU. Though the CPU probably has something to do with it.
