P5K-SE and newer graphic cards (ATI 38xx and such)

Replying to my own question, maybe:

"I want to get me a 3850 card but i think it's incompatible with
this motherboard, though i'm not sure. Can anyone confirm, one way
or another?"

After reading about the problem with the P5K and 3850 graphic
card, i went to check here, as suggested by someone:

_AMD_No_Compatibility_Problems_with_PCI_Express_2_0.html

According to that, a 3850 or 3870 graphic cards should work on my
P5K-SE motherboard even though, in the motherboard specs, says that
it has a PCIe slot and the graphic card needs a PCIe 2.0 slot,
right? Also, if it does work, does the performance get a big hit
because of lack of PCIe 2.0 slot?

I have a 650 Q-Tec PSU that i think is more then enough for the
job.

If i'm going to invest around 170-200 euros in a graphic card, i
need to know for sure if it will work on my PC, right?



Thank you in advance, HTC
