PCI-E2 gfx card in PCI-E motherboard

Oh god, yes! CoD 5 is great! No one else seems to like it, but I thought it was a fantastic game. Totally surpassed my expectations.
The beginning of the game was a little slow, dull and boring - seemed like just any other WWII shooter. As soon as I was thrown into the European theatre of the game, I was totally immersed. You play as the Russians during the closing days of WWII, pushing the Germans out of Moscow and back into Berlin.

Just finished COD5... WOW... nothing more fun that blowing off limbs with a high caliber machine gun at full resolution with all graphics cranked up!

The beach landing missing was insane... very saving private ryan...

ONLY down side... I finished it... already... on Hardened...

Can't wait for COD Modern Combat 2 now!!

*In pimply nerd voice* Yeah I'm pretty uber hardcore...

I did try it on Veteran but that got frustrating as you get shot like twice and you die... so I'm not UBER to the power of three hardcore... :rofl:

Jesterarts, have you played the zombie mission yet?!

 

[Jesterarts]

Yeah... Had a quick go at it... I moved the couch out of the way and zombies came from upstairs!! took me out... lol

It would be awesome in MP.

Do you have to finish single player to unlock zombies mode?

 

[Jesterarts]

Yep... I'm pretty sure that's the case... I think you need to finished single player to even open the zombie level in MP.

I got bored with no internet and couldn't play multiplayer a few weeks back, finished World at War on veteran. Not easy, but doable. COD4 is way harder, still only finished it on hardened so far.

As you've already found out, PCIE2 cards work fine in PCIE1.1, and should probably work in PCIE 1, but it may not be working to full potential in PCIE1. The only time it'll ever use all the traffic in PCIE2 is if you were to put them in SLI.
