If I installed into a x16 PCI-E 1.0 slot, what speeds would I get? PCI-E x2 doesn't exist..only x1 x4 x8 x16...don't know what x2

x2 does exist, it's just very uncommon. A PCI-E slot supports all the speeds below it, so if you put an x2 card in an x4, x8, or x16 slot it will work at x2 speed. See http://www.apricorn.com/media/overview/VelSoloX2_slots.png

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.

it does not work on PCI slot, but if you mean PCIE 1.0, then its maximum speed will be 2.5Gbps. Even you have x8 lanes, but this card only use 1x lane.

Only requires PCI-Express 2.0 x1 Slot. But it is compatible with all others. You will NOT see any real speed boost from using a faster slot.

Yup, actually has 3 - 2.0 x16 PCI Express Slots which will run at dual x16 (this is where your dual gtx 970 would be) or x16, x8, x8 (if you add a third card)!

No, you MUST use a pci-e slot. I'm not a gamer so I cannot respond as to whether this is adequate for gaming scenarios.

yes. Pci express 2.0 is fine. thats what mine is on. theres not a lot of boards w/ pci 3.0 anyway or they are very expensive. you'll lose nothing on a pci-E 2.0

I see two 1x pci-e connectors, and even if they are already used up, if that extra 16x pci-e connector is vacant, it can also be used, I've done it myself. The rest is a matter of checking minimum requirements, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work. Happy capturing ;)

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.

Hi, Yes, the card, an 8800GT is a PCI-e type. Thats the long slot in your motherboard these days, designed for these video cards. I have an A8N SLI Deluxe as well, and it runs normally two 8600 GTs. (One 8600 broke after a long time, thankfully not frying out anything but itself so I am waiting on a replacement) SLI mode is envoked when you have 2 Cards in those 2 PCI-e Slots. x8 x16 and that other stuff have to do with running Single or Multiple Cards. With the A8N Deluxe (the newer versions that lack the old fashioned sli switch card), the Asus AI software auto switches between x8 and x16. Don't worry, that card will run :)

I have mine installed in PCIe x4 slots on an Asus server bd running ESXi 5.1 They certainly work with VMware, no drivers needed. What slot did you install? I never heard of an x12 slot. What motherboard? They should be immediately recognized. Did you check the configuration/network adapters tab of the host?

Looks like it should have a PCIe 1X and 16X slot. This card will work in the 16X slot, but most likely you'll have a video card in this slot. It will not work in the 1X slot. Do a google image search for PCIe 2X, 8X and 16X slots and compare the images to your slots.

I have a ASUS Sabertooth X58 board and a Plextor PX-256M5Pro SSD drive and I see read speeds in the 500-540 mb range and write speeds close to 500 MB range. I have the card set to ACHI and it is plugged into a PCI-E X16 slot. My motherboard has three X16 slots but only the first two run at X16 and are listed as PCI-Express 2.0. The third PCI-E slot on my motherboard runs at x4 mode. I have seen some motherboards where the second PCI-E socket does not run at the X16 mode so that may be what is causing your problem if your SSD drive is actually capable of running at 500+ MB.

The card performs at PCIe 2.0 speeds only, but it will work in slots that support PCIe 2.0 and 3.0 (x8 or x16)

Most newer motherboards have multiple PCI-E slots. The graphics card (generally) uses a x16 slot, but there's normally some 1x, 4x, and/or 8x slots on the board as well. This cards is a 1x, so it will fit in any of the above assuming your GPU cooler or something else isn't covering the slot.

It will still only operate at the 1x slots speed. 1x can handle 250 MB/sec vs 16x which can handle 4000 MB/sec. This is fine for mining coins because you don't need the bandwidth. For actual gaming though you'd probably want to put your card into the 16x slot and not the 1x slot.

It occupies 2 slots space and you should always plug it into your PCI-E 3.0 which usually is the first full size PCI-E slot. Pretty impressive for the thiness of the card considering how good the ACX cooler is :)
