Hey All, I was wondering if you guys could share your insights and experiences with PCI EXPRESS 2.0 video cards, are they compatible with standard pci express x16 slots on older motherboards or newer ones for that matter?

Please share your experiences and also mention what type of pci express lanes you have and what motherboards and cards you are using.

I hate to buy one of these fuckers only to find out there will be compatibility issues.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences thus far!!! :D:D:D:D
 
please use search.........noone seems to understand that anymore in forums


also to answer your question it doesnt matter which pci-e slot it is, it will still work without problems.

QFT.

Also, I believe it is frowned upon (as in - not allowed) to post topics with ALL CAPS title.
 
They work on older 16x slots...using a 3870 on a board with only an x16 slot (not 2.0) right now and works amazing!

If this were true policy, then the forums would be very quiet and die rather shortly, it's not your forum so you shouldn't care.
 
eh a reader of the forum cares.....

ive seen about 50 threads over this in the past few months
 
Yea, It's like the Vista vs XP in the OS section.. People just HAVE to make their own thread about it.. Good god.

Well I was about to search before posting but his post just appeared. I've read in a very creditable site that Nvidias PCI Express Cards are compatible with the 1.1 PCI EXpress REvission.

I have a MSI K9VGM-V mobo and I'm interested in a 9600GT. The mobo costed me about 300 USD (in the equivalent currency) if I buy the vid card here it'll be around 530 USD.
Yet I wonder if they would work together since the Mobo es PCI Express 1.0.,

Thanks in advance

I don't venture into the video card forums too much anymore :(. Over a few months, I don't see a problem with the same question being answered. Just relax man!
