[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Video card q

Will a card made for PCI Express 2.0 x 16 work in a slot made for PCI Express x 16? I'm just a little confused. Thanks.

Most likely yes. It depends on the card. Most of them are fully backward compliant.

Yes but it may not perform as well.

Yes it will. The PCIe 1.0 16x bus has yet to be saturated by anything out there. In a year, probably, not now though.
