Hey .. funny .. I won the game!
Ok on the live event. It does make me play little differently typically. I’m not heavy RvR and do very little to no scenarios. However, I found myself in scenarios and lot more oRvR. Had fun and got the second reward! I guess it’s all perspective.
I agree with removing the timer on the kill five marked quest. Other than that.. great event fun stuff.
Great Show
Thanks

PCIe 1.0 and 2.0 are compatable. If the motherboard runs 1.0 it can run a 2.0 card, but at 1.0 specs. Also if you have a 2.0 motherboard and put in a 1.0 card it will run at 1.0 specs.
Cards will run in the lowest supported pcie version, no need to worry about a pcie x16 1.0 motherboard and running a 2.0 card, it will work.

Ohh, also to note, you will not see a difference from 1.0 and 2.0 pcie x16, no application currently even comes close to using that much bandwidth

It was during the Night of Murder that I met some people with interesting strategies, one of which was on keep defense. We all piled inside the taverns and houses inside the first wall and kept completely silent so they thought it was undefended. When Order ran in and slammed against the second door, we poured out and flanked them. It was a total rout.

As said above PCI-E 1.0 and 2.0 are compatible.
Also, don’t automatically believe the higher the number, the better the gfx-card. An 8800 is way better than a 9500 or a 9600, so you better check out benchmarks performance comparisons first before buying useless crap that’s worse than your old card.
Another point to be aware of is that Nvidia (and ATI to some point) are relabelling their cards like mad to get them in line with new product names. Many 9800 GTs for example are exactly the same frigging cards with the same specs as the 8800 GT – they just changed the BIOS. You can even flash a large margin of those 8800s to be 9800s. Even if they aren’t relabelled 8800s, they just got a new PCB which does nothing in terms of performance because they still run with the same specs.
This whole relabelling thing sucks anyway, cause the average Joe thinks the 9800 is way better than the 8800 and goes to buy it in the next big electronic store(which have big ads how awesome this new card is). Well, surprise surprise when noticing not any difference after having it installed.
Btw. the 9800 GT (along with other older cards) is rumoured to be relabelled AGAIN, called GTS 240 to bring it in line with the GTX 260/280/285, just to give a real ridiculous example of Nvidia’s naming policy.
