Just a query.
I have a dell computer with a PCI Express x16 and I assume is a version 1 PCI-E.
The latest cards can handle PCI-E 2.0 x 16. From what I can gather PCI-E 2.0 x16 is twice as fast as PCI-E 1.0++ x 16 in terms of io between gpu and cpu
As I understand it, PCI-E 2.0 cards are compatible with PCI-E 1.0++slots.
My question is - is it worth buying a top of the range Nvidia card with a PCI-E 1.0++ connection or do I go for a lower spec card that has throughput less than the PCI-E 1.0++ max?
Does Octane depend on io between gpu and cpu?
Hope this makes sense
Thanks
