Is this card backward compatible with PCI Express (GEN 1.0) x16?
2070825
My mainboard is PCI Express Version 1 and this graphics card fits and runs perfectly. My Windows Experience Index improved by 38.8% matching my processor and memory indices. My power supply is 500 watts. Video editing times have been greatly improved with this new graphics card.

To be honest I don't know exactly what GEN 1.0 x16 is; but I can tell you that I have installed this card on two 8+ year old DELL computers that have a single PCI Express slot that supports this card. The card works fine for these two computers which are used to "remote in" to office computers using a BOTH a high resolution 27" monitor (2560x1440) AND an HD (1920x1080) monitor. Not bad for a $99+/- video card in 8 year old computers. I have found that this (and its predecessor(s) still available) are the only high-performance video cards that utilize only a single PCI slot. Seems like all new high performance video cards take up the width of two PCI Express slots. I hope this helps.

No they are backwards compatible. Using pcie 1 with this card will only see negligible performance loss so don't worry about it.

yes, this card plugs into a pci-express x16 slot. the only problem you may run into is the physical size of the card, it may be a tight squeeze on your mobo.

The correct answer is either one....yes, it is a PCI-E X1 card, but it will work in a PCI-E X16 slot (including X8, X4, and of course X1).

I believe I can only answer one question here. All PCI-E editions are backwards compatible with their previous version. 3.0 &gt; 2.0 &gt; 1.0. I don't know the other answer though, sorry.

this card should no issues using a PCIE 1.0 slot. all video cards are backward capable. this is a single slot wide card and using very little power. it runs off the PCIE slots power only and is a short length card.

No because this motherboard doesn't have a PCI bridge it has 4 PCI express. You have to find one that goes x16 to x1 pci . This one is just the old PCI to x1.

I THINK the answer is Yes. I had a x1 slot, so it wasn't an issue, but the following seems to confirm my opinion:http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/327359-30-will-card-slotHope that helps - at least a bit.

Yes. Even though this card is PCI-e 3.0 and the motherboard has PCI-e 2.0 slots, PCI-e 3.0 is backwards compatible with PCI-e 2.0. Just be sure to put the card in one of the two x16 slots, not one of the x4 slots. The manual should show which slots are which.

Yes. Graphics cards are built with backwards compatibility built in, so a PCIe 3.0 X16 card (like this one) will work in a PCIe X16 slot. Check out the system requirements here: http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1226&pid=2021&lid=1#

We are unable to answer compatibility question for certain PC model. If your PC has PCI express x 16 slot and it is PCIE 2.0 standard or higher compliant with minimum 400 watt power supply then it should work. The system you have seems like a slim tower, since this card comes with a pair of low profile bracket, it can be shortened to fit almost all slim tower system. Thanks Copystars Support

Yes, According to the specs I found on your board it has 1 pcie x16 2.0 the card is made fore the pcie x16 3.0 so the card wont be able to transfer data as fast as it is capable of. Also this card does require additional power from a compatable power supply.

Yup! I have mine on a PCI-e 2.0 (x16) and have no problems what so ever. As long as it gets the juice, you'll be just fine.

Well, according to Tom's Hardware user forum, yes it is: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/382646-33-pcie-backward-compatible. For the second question, I would suggest you go to the EVGA website and look up the specifics... I put a Corsair 650w in my computer a long time ago, and haven't worried about it too much - thought with all the HD's I've put in recently, I may want to switch to an 850w. Antec and Sesonic make good power supplies also.

I couldn't say for sure. I think pci-e is backwards and forwards compatible--it just won't be 3.0-fast. I would google for pci-e compatibility between versions. I used an AMD A-series on-chip GPU and it was for someone else.
