I was wondering will a SAPPHIRE Toxic Radeon HD 4890 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card work on a PCI-E 1.1 or 1.0 slot and with Direct X9.0c?
My motherboard is a: Gigabyte GA-K8N-SLI Pro
Video Card wanting to replace is a: Sapphire Radeon 1950XTX 512MB.
Want to replace video card with:SAPPHIRE Toxic Radeon HD 4890 1GB.
Video card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
Motherboard: http://www.giga-byte.com/Products/Mother…
Operating System: Windows XP Pro SP3
Direct X: 9.0c
Some people say it will work no problems, but I want to be sure. First decent answer with proof get's a automatic 10 stars.|||You can use one single HD4890 card on that motherboard no problems... But why put an ATI card on an nVidia SLI motherboard? It kind of defeats the purpose of buying that SLI motherboard in the first place.
Remember SLI only works with two nVidia cards, not ATI.
Anyway, PCIExpress 2.0 video cards are completely compatible with PCIExpress 1.0 slots. The only time PCIExpress 2.0 cards will max out the bandwidth of a PCIe 1.0 slot is if you got two or more high-end cards running in SLI or Crossfire.|||I've heard of problems with PCIe 2.0 on this board.

Then again, the guy that started that thread had problems with Nvidia not ATI.
