Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a lead in to the Happy New Year.
I have resolved, for the past 10 years, to no longer make resolutions, ... and I have kept that resolution every year. < yes, illogical
Sorry to all those peeps I killed in 2013 gaming, I just did it for the purposes of the game. To all those who killed me, ... here's to " " at you! There's always next year
According to Tom's hardware page, http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/pci-express-3.0-pci-sig,2695.html the reading of PCI-E 3.0 information is like this; (compiled) you can run PCI-E 3.0 on a motherboard that accepts 2.0 x16. The pipeline does carry the same x16 for 3.0 but, ... the speed is faster down the 3.0 pipe. Theoretically, the speed is doubled down the pipe for 3.0 thus resulting in 32G/s vs 16G/s rates. Not actually reflective to the human eye at this time of the changes. However, the statement made was the 2.0 pipeline has yet to be bottle-necked. The 3.0 cards run "backward compatible". So, the 3.0 when fully opened in an environment made for the graphical demand should then be realized and benchmarks will escalate accordingly.
In a nut shell, go ahead and get that graphics upgrade, even if you do not have a CPU/MB with PCI-E 3.0 capability, but be wise on the Generation timelines. It doesn't seem frugal to buy an upgrade card that you are replacing one that is graphically comparable now.
Sideout: Fantastic job circumventing the numbers and letters to and for the network to stay afloat and alive. Hands down a super-great job!
Nexus Staff and helpers including Bukky and Boon : thanks for all the extra hands and support I needed to get the "power to the tables"
