Will hd 6750 work on pci-e-1.0

[harryrupam]

I'm planning to Buy a ATI HD 6750 graphics card....but my mobo has PCI-E-X16(1.0 probably) ... I am upgrading from my 8600gt...so....as the 6750 is PCI-E 2.1...will it work on my mobo?? (My mobo is MSI 945GCM7-MS-7507(v1.X) Mainboard) if so...then will there be any significant gaming performance decrease??? please help...

All the PCE 2.1 cards are backward compatible with PCIE 1.0 and there will be no noticeable bottleneck due to lower bandwidth of the 1.0 slot. But let us know what CPU you are having because a low end CPU may bottleneck the GPU.

it would be better if you have the latest Bios version installed for your mobo.

okay....my CPU is core 2 duo E7200 @ 2.53 GHz....Ram 2 GB DDR 2 (667 Mhz)

^^why don't you go with 6770 @ 6.4k?

PCIe 1.0 wont bottleneck the 6750 or 6770 but the processor is not upto the mark for current generation games.

^^ HD 6770 or HD 6750 is a mid-range card and there will be no problem for C2D 7200 to handle it. The bottleneck occurs with the older C2D processors when you go beyond HD 6850/GTX 460.

okay...then what do you think?? c2d will handle this card fine...?? actually I have a 17 inch crt monitor and I am going to play at 1280x1024 resolution...well...in this resolution is this card (HD 6750) enough to perform good??

^^ HD6750/HD6770 will be more than enough
