Will a Pci express 3.0 work on a Pci 1.0

Tormidal · Sep 24, 2014

A PCI-e 3.0 card will work in any PCI-e slot, even 1.0. And vice versa.

swifty_morgan · Sep 24, 2014

that's not always true.

GucciBoots · Sep 24, 2014

then is it true or not.I also want to put a new card on this computer Sony VAIO VGC-RB30

swifty_morgan :

Assuming that the user has the latest drivers and Bios for all the hardware, its typically going to true that the cards will be compatible.

The only time it will definitely not be true is a PCIe 2.1 card in a 1.0 slot.

so a Pci 3.0 card will work on A 1.0 slot but a Pcie 2.1 wont work

GucciBoots :

That's correct.

The other thing is that, assuming the Sony Vaio model you quoted is the one you plan on upgrading, that actually uses PCIe 1.1 slots, which 3.0 card will work in.

There is no reason to upgrade that PC, start over and call it good.

PCI 2.1 is the only non compatible version, however compatible dosent mean it wont be bottlenecked by the bandwidth of the lane.
