Has anyone tried this? I have a GA-P35-DS3L with a 1.1 slot, I read about the 7000 series working in 1.1 in some cases maybe a r9 will work? Thanks.

Yes it will work, but for gaming it's a bad idea as your bandwidth will be limited quite a bit. However if you're into number crunching and are working on a mini-workstation build, it'll be perfectly fine. But again, even though it'll work, i strongly advise against it for gaming.
