So my video card is going out and need new one. so saw this XFX PVT88SFDF4 GeForce 8800GS 384MB on newegg can though i would get it but now i got one friend that is telling me since its PCI Express 2.0 my mother board wont support it. other is saying it will but not to its full potential. im looking into it now but was hoping could get quick answer here.

Present video card: GeForce 7900GT 256MB 256-bit

Present Motherboard: ASRock 775Dual-880Pro LGA 775 VIA PT880 PRO ATX Intel Motherboard

Link to Video card im purchasing: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...N82E16814150275

You can use the 8800GS in any motherboard, but it's not what I'd go with.
Get one of these instead, they're much better:
