HD 6850 backward compatibility?

jay405 · Jul 12, 2013

I'm using Asus P5N-MX mobo which possibly has pcie x16 1.0 or 1.1 slot. Would HD 6850 or gtx 460 work with my system?
P.s- ive e7200,corsair 450w & want to play crysis 3 at 720p.

almost every graphics card has backwards compatibility. for example i still have a xps 420 with a 660 ti 3GB. its made for pci 3.0 but its backwards compatible. the cards will work because they will be backwards compatible.

Yes every GPU is backward/forward compatible. If you face some problem with compatibility with PCI 1.0/1.1 slot against PCI-E 2.0 than update your BIOS. In most cases it would work fine.

Every so often, the question of running a 2.0 card on a 1.1 board comes up. I've never yet seen a failure due to the odd-ball 1.1 version.
