Need Video Card

[HK-Viper1-]

Hello All...

I am trying to find the best video card I can get for this MB shown here..
http://www.tyan.com/product_board_spec.aspx?pid=591

Please pay close attention to this part of the MB specs...
Expansion Slots
- Two (2) PCIe* x 16 slots (w/ x8 bus)
　- Two PCI-X 1.0 64/133 slots
　- Two 32/33 PCI 2.3 slots
*NOTE: If a PCI-E x16 VGA adapter is inserted
into this slot, the VGA card will only
work at PCI-E x1 speed; this is a chipset
limitation.

Thank you all in advanced that can help.....

So, no price limit? Just one single card?

MONEY IS NO OBJECT... Looking for the best that will run @ PCIEx1 according to the above MB specs...

Thanks...

Wow so it looks like both slots run at x1? I thought at least one would run at x8 and the other at x1 or something. . Won't any card be bottlenecked by the board then?

I think PCIE X1 runs @ x8 if you install a PCIE X16 VGA card into a X16 slot.. This is were I am confused and do not want to buy an over kill of a video card....

Try borrowing someone elses's card and see what the bandwith runs at.
