I am using a Intel Mother Board DG41RQ (With DDR2,PCI express 1.1), Will a graphic card with DDR3, PCI E 2.0/2.1 work fine with ,y motherboard without any issues???. If yes what would that be. Also pls suggest which would be a better option PCI E 2.0 or 2.1
Thanks,

It basically works like this:
PCIe 1.x 16x = PCIe 2.x 8x = PCIe 3.x 4x

However generally PCIe 2.x 8x speed is enough for most graphics cards, which your PCIe 1.x 16x fulfills.

So it only affects the maximum performance of the graphics card you put in it, but generally only for very high end graphics cards.
