graphics card - PCI-Express 2.0 backwards compatibility?


I have a Radeon HD 6850 which is a PCI-E 2.0 card. Will it work with a ASUS P5N-SLI which has only PCI-E input?



Answer



From the Wikipedia article on PCI Express:



PCIe 2.0 motherboard slots are fully backward compatible with PCIe v1.x cards. PCIe 2.0 cards are also generally backward compatible with PCIe 1.x motherboards, using the available bandwidth of PCI Express 1.1. Overall, graphic cards or motherboards designed for v2.0 will work with the other being v1.1 or v1.0a.
