From wikipedia(I'm unsure if this is 100% correct)

Quote :

PCIe 2.0 motherboard slots are backward compatible with PCIe v1.x. PCIe 2.0 cards have good backwards compatibility, new PCIe 2.0 graphics cards are compatible with PCIe 1.1 motherboards, meaning that they will run on them using the available bandwidth of PCI Express 1.1. Overall, graphic cards or motherboards designed for v2.0 will be able to work with the other being v1.1 or v1.0.



That said my GTX 260 is working fine in my PCI-E x16 Ver 1.1 slot.

Would the world be a better place if you were dead?

I think we know the answer to both these questions.

Yes
