PCIe architecture means a lot, right next to what type of processor. What year was the computer/motherboard manufactured?

If you have no idea, I can't help you. Either find out or don't know.

[ChexGuy331]

you don't even need to rip it out though...you just gotta open the case

[ChexGuy331]

Depends on the mobo...my Gigabyte says "Revision x.x" next to the bottom-left screw.

processor is probably getting bottlenecked because the GPU is wayyy better than it and your processor can't handle it.

only slightly
due to the fact you have a first-gen phenom that you're only getting less than half the recommended bus bandwidth for the card which will result in bottlenecking

yeah your processor is probably bottlenecking the gpu
the processor you use is am2+, so you would probably have to get a new motherboard along with a better processor to get any significant improvement in performance.
