Okay so my 4850 died this morning (two red lights on back of card, no display, fan still spins). So I want to take the opportunity to upgrade to a 5770. But I've heard that the 5770 has problems with PCI-E 1.0 mobos. I use a Gigabyte GA-72VM-S2 mobo, which uses the nforce 610i chipset. Will this work with a 5770?

My PSU is a Corsair 450VX and my CPU is a Core 2 Duo E8400.
 
i dont see why it would have a problem.. there arent even any games out there that push enough bandwidth to require pci-e x16 2.0 except maybe crysis but it would need to be a 5970 to even see a loss in performance..
 
Right, see, I was thinking the same but I've googled and there are some reports of 5770s not even POSTing on 1.0 mobos.
